I Want Nothing More

If I had gone missing by tomorrow's sunrise,
Would you even bother to try and look for me?
To look past all the façades and masks and all the lies?
Would you bother to care, and to what degree?

You'd just brush my death off, like you always do
To the problems I have yet I try to cover up
I know you wouldn't care, your love was never true:
I know that what you want is my breathing to stop.

I thought you would care now that you know
But you still blame me much like you've done before,
There's no more reason to live, so I'll just go
Right now, over death, I want nothing more.
