When Death Embraces Me

I hope the day death comes and takes me,
it embraces me, holds me right,
and soothes the child in me, who's still crying.

I hope the day death embraces me,
it rains hard
and washes all the hate for myself in my heart

I hope the day death embraces me I 
Don't see dead kids inside adults

I hope death embraces me
Because I know a no truer dead corpse than me

I hope the day death embraces 
It washes the hate before taking me

I hope the day death embraces me 
It makes a false promise 
You will be loved unconditionally
