Are you living your life,
Or just waiting to die?
The pride the pride the pride
The brightest things fade the fastest
With all my life,
The pride the pride the pride. - Steve Aoki ft Fall out boy, Back to Earth.

I guess in that way, the same way I owed Trick my fame, I now owed him my life. Almost Ironic.
