Already Dead

It's like you are already dead your heart beats blood runs their your veins but you are more than brain-dead you are dead You walk the streets at night selling drugs to zombies like yourself You avoid being seen with me in the light When I do see you like the dead you don't talk you sit in my car wearing a hoodie like a veil Do you know how difficult it is to have a conversation with a dead person You say you miss me but I don't feel anything coming from you when I hug you your touch is cold You don't return my phone calls You don't answer my e-mails Like the dead you are clean your hair is cut But your face is ashen and those black eyes of yours that far away look You spend your time with other low-ballers and walkers of the night In a dream I thought I could take you to heaven but we both fell back to earth Your life on this plane was short and you were born dead destine to walk this earth alone
