Already Died
I'd like to feel what you feel inside,
a pride, a drive, a want to be alive.
Your many emotions, I haven't got most ones,
a bond with a close one that hasn't been broken.
My mind used to dream and have ambition,
now I hear mental screams in repetition,
these sounds can't be drowned but I try not to listen.
There's not a soul I can trust. What's love? What's lust?
I've many bad memories that hang around and taunt,
if I die tomorrow there's so many that I would haunt.
Could I be you for just one day,
would your shoes give me clues,
or a view that I forget to use?
Have you got friends,
friends that are friends,
not users that pretend,
individu-fools that upset and offend,
then claim they had hands out in extend.
I'd like to feel something inside,
a pride, a drive, a want to be alive,
I'm hollow, I'm empty, I've already died.
