Before I die young; I want someone to love
Someone to love me like there’s no one else
Before I die young; never let home be far
Anytime you're here, I’m always home.
Before I die young, don’t lock the door
Let me feel youth’s warmth before age’s chill
Before I die young, I want to hold your hand
I want to know you like I know myself.
Before I die young, I want something to live for
Something that will make everything have worth
Before I die young, let my dreams come true
Let me go before I can stop
Before I die young, give me something for evermore
Let me the chance for someone’s love
Before I die young, make the sun glow again
The welcome warmth of another today.
Before I die young, never let me be sorry
Life is too short for regrets
Before I die young, never let me grow old
Let me love before I have to go
Before I leave you;
Before I show that I never knew
Knew what it meant to be
Alive,
With you.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
