Unsettled
You were laid
On the bed that was made
For your eternal sleep
As you lie
When you're starting to die
You begin to believe
That a lie
Was all that you were
And all that you are
And you cringe
That this might just be true
And the thought of you
Leaving alone
Would keep you awake forever
As you dream
In your head, in your mind
You fear you will never wake
Recollect
And recall memories
And they were all lies
You would die
For someone they were
And someone they are
And you laugh
For trusting their words
And their gratitude
Leaving alone
Would keep you awake forever
