"Tell them I was monument, tell them I was scripture. I beg of you before I'm six foot underneath the soil, before the maggots hug my corpse into a shivering carcass you tell them ... Was human!" Chills... Literally chills. These words will stay with me till I'm a shivering carcass... Thank you Carvens
