Shelf Life

I'm scared of death
I'm scared of death
I'm scared of death
I'm scared of death and the thought of dying all by myself

I kept it true
Made decisions for my health
When I was blue
Never doubted what I felt
I kept it cool
Put my feelings on the shelf
I take them down
Take them down when I need help

Actin' new
Took the time that I had left
Prayed for you
We had to take those baby steps
A wasted youth
Every day strayed from the rest
Meant it too
When I said I was the best
Making moves
Had to hustle for this bread
Face the fool
I acted foolish in the end
You say you knew
What had caused them to pretend
Through and through
I could have been a better friend

They stick to you
Til' they find another brand
A loyal crew
Could be members of a band
Descent had grew
When you told 'em all your plans
Meant to do
What you needed in the end

I kept it true
Made decisions for my health
When I was blue
Never doubted what I felt
I kept it cool
Put my feelings on the shelf
I take them down
Take them down when I need help
Kept it true
Made decisions for my health
When I was blue
Never doubted what I felt
I kept it cool
Put my feelings on the shelf
I take them down
Take them down when I need help
