I was born dead
Or
I was born in a dead place
Where humans exist
But with fake masks on the same version of them
With dead empty souls
And heart filled with purple blue blood
Eyes seeing you as a memory
Memory of old crime against humanity,
I was born dead
Where humanity stayed
No longer than a second
Where the dead souls
Were walking down the arcade
To get a new fresh skin
Plastic heart beats and
Lame betraying smiles
I was born dead
When the final bad fantasy come true
The moment I felt the
Terror in my own eyes and
ears ringing with alarm to run as fast as I can
But
Watching the death approaching me
On two different paths
Walking slowly
I felt my skin was burning fire
My rescue was impossible,
Just hearing the death
Calling my name
The acidic tone
Filled with venom,
I was born dead
When I felt air left
My lungs for forever
The screaming and shouting
Nothing stopped the death
To stop it's deadly torture on my mind
I was born dead
When my eyes become heavy
When I was drifting in long peaceful
Sleep
Darkness filled my vision
The lane of death
I see next to me
The mystified long lost walk
Where now I was supposed to
Walk down the aisle
To marry my own death for
Forever
Ain't it's funny to think
I saw my life being taken from me
What I did was plead with my hands
But nothing helped me to get away from the same torture,
I was born dead
Or
I was born in a dead place
Where the colour of the skin
Matters more than life
More than the hardwork
Where humans selling the
Humanity on high stakes
To regain the lost power of the mystified
World
Where hearts were already dead
But in end
I guess I was born again
Fresh and new
But after I died peacefully
Or
Just simply I died
To live my life fully
