I was never afraid of failure for I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest.

If I had known
That darkness would overcome me
I would have wished that thirteen
Should never come
I would have prayed for fourteen to come overnight
That I could pass that flight
The hurt, the pain
Wasn't worth it
Worth a number
That would pass
oh so quickly
It was too dark
The blackness of it all
Thirteen
