I may look alive
But I’ve been dead the whole time
The walking dead passerby
All look alike but for the eyes
Vacant and staring at nothing
At no one, all assumptions
Based on brain and heat beats
But the soul retreats
My life has gone away from me
For everything I am has killed me
A placid ocean in the mid of night
A sole figure bobbing in moonlight
Arms flailing, no one for miles
Goes under and then slowly dies
Life has washed over me
And no one ever sees
Me drowning in my own mind
Sees me slowly running out of time
My life has gone away from me
For everything I am has killed me
Can we still love after death?
Is there anything left at last breath?
If I am dead, my heart is too
Turned to stone just to get through
The waking life and the everyday
To pretend that everything is okay
That I am alive and all is well
All the while I’ve been dead, can’t you tell?
My life has gone away from me
For everything I am has killed me
