When I Am Dead

by hayley williams   Feb 28, 2006


I doubt anyone will notice when I am dead
I will not move from my position on my bed
Starring up at the ceiling completely lifeless
All of the symptoms of death I already possess

At twenty-one I am wounded and broken hearted
Years ago all of my hopes and dreams departed
Even though I am sad this is not a surprise
I always knew my fate was to be an early demise

I began to feel constant pain, deep down inside
I have no one around in who I can confide
Often I self harm causing my own blood to flow
It seems death is the only place left for me to go

When nobody has time to invest in you
And you are haunted by what you have been through
Suddenly death appears to be the only way
You start to run out of motivation to stay

I maybe a coward for giving up on my life
And I am weak for resulting to using the knife
There is nothing left of me worth trying to save
I cannot stand living, death's embrace I crave.
