I want my death to be monetized
Each cent going into the wallet of a bootlegger
The search for fame will be complete
I know it
true artistry will bury alongside me
Paychecks only last a couple days
This wallet can no longer pay bills with attention
I want my death to be advertised
Each person finally knowing my name
The rent will be paid with my corpse
One hundred years is the test of time
I should be in the club with the elite
I am only a man
Lusting after the impossible
With the bottle
as my murderer
Facedown in the muddy street
I want my death to be romanticized
have every person obsess over my life
let me feel the warm love I craved
when my heart was still beating
