Eyes black out
Visions shout
A rope invites
Delivers just right
Already dead
Pretty profile draws blank
Where feelings sank
A brutal brick wall
A smashed face to appal
Already dead
Heart pumps black
Blood oozes out but never back
The sweet edge of a blade
Penetrates this masquerade
Already dead
Sleeping softly in my bed
Already dead
Already dead
Watching dancers end the dread
Already dead
Already dead
Shhh! On waking. Visions unsaid
Already dead
Already dead
No need in mourning tears to shed
Still breathing
Still beating
Still walking
Still waking
But oh so long past
Living
Dead
