I Died While Living
Hidden from y'all
Broken heart from loving another
Crushed dream for believing the media
Buried life for not fitting in
Are we to fit into life?
Or fade with the passing days?
Scared of dying
Do not want to live either
Smokes
Drugs
Fill the sack labelled me
Got a heart leading to nothing
Tired
Hoping to live an extra day
Wearing the best smile
Hanging my fears in a wardrobe
Visit at night
While I sit in comfort of pain
Cutting my wrists
Making a hole through the wall with clenched fists
Got my robes soaked in a red river
(Drowning in my blood)
Wishing death visits before morning
Hope you'll notice someday
Not in black clothes
I lived for another
The comforting lies you got fed
I was not a happy soul.
