Dead


You know that feeling When you’re empty and alone When there is no one you can turn to Remembering when the sun once shone You used to be able to laugh About nothing at all But now you can’t, for you’ve turned to stone You’ve started to float aimlessly, Invisible No one knows you’re there ‘cuz you don’t make a sound The people who think you’re perfect live cluelessly Not knowing you can only feel hurt And you often think of ending it all Tired of feeling lower than dirt When the pain starts killing your soul Remember I’m here to love and hold you But I can’t if you’re dead I just hope, somehow, I can get this through your Head.
