As I Lay In the Meadow

As I lay in the meadow of flowers blue sky and peace. I slowly drift to sleep  

Looked up at the sky 
Yelling asking why 
Took a bullet to the head 
Screamed good damn it
I was dead. 

Layed down in the grass 
This is death it will last 
Felt the blood rushing from my head 
Thank god I am dead 

My soul is now in heaven 
And my body is in the ground 
My heart is down in hell 
And I don’t make a sound 

Suicide was the answer 
The gun was the key 
Put the key in the door 
Im as dead as dead can be 

Down there my life had no meaning 
But up here im like a queen 
Living life with no regrets 
Living life were its not mean 

Waking up every day is a joy 
Down there it was fire and smoke 
As the smoke would burn my eyes 
And all hell would break loos 

Dad would always hit me 
Mum would always be high 
They never got over my sisters passing 
But just made me want to die 
Took their anger out on me
And never really spoke 
Just kept that bottle of jack 
And the pack of smokes

My mother and father never worked 
It was I who had to support 
So I wonder how they will do now…..

I’ve never felt freer 
Never felt more alive 
Never felt this happy 
Never wish to die…. 
As I lay in the meadow of flowers blue sky and peace. I slowly drift to sleep…. And suddenly wake up to speak.
