Description Which way to die? Which way to die?
My time of death, that time draws nigh.
I soon will die, and you ask why?
Because I am cold blooded.

I have to choose, and cast the die.
I have two ways, two ways to die.
You ask, "Why two?" You ask to I?
Because I am cold blooded.

There is the heat, oh dreadful heat.
To beat this heat is quite a feat.
Against such heat, I cannot compete.
Because I am cold blooded.

And then the cold, oh deathly cold.
To face such cold, one must be bold.
I cannot win, I am far too old.
Because I am cold blooded.

I must die, and die I must.
My skill to choose, I do not trust.
I have to die, before I rust.
Because I am cold blooded.

I sit here and I soak this heat.
Oh sickening heat which burns my feet.
I need this heat, or my heart won't beat.
Because I am cold blooded.

I release this heat amidst the cold.
That biting chill, which grabs a hold.
It stays with me, until heat I bold.
Because I am cold blooded.

Day by day, why I've lost chart.
To face repetition, there must be an art!
I can not go on, I have not the heart.
Because I am cold blooded.

Which way to die? Which way to die?
My time of death, that time draws nigh.
I soon must die, and you ask why?
Because I am cold blooded.

It's a good piece but something is off about it
Look again and maybe it'll come

Nothing stands out... what stood out that made you notice it?

I suppose nothing really just
at the end of each stanza I kinda cringed

It would probably work better if I said it outloud than if I just wrote it. There's a special rhythm to it that's hard to hear unless you... well, hear it.
