Wish of the Dead

Scream to my heart
Let me hear the beating stop
Scream to my soul
And let me hear my spirit go cold
I wanna listen
To birds go silent
I wanna see 
The sky go black
I wanna fill the bitter frost
Of the air chill my skin
I wanna hear 
The cry of the people around me
I wanna taste 
The faint taste of blood on my tongue
Because all i have now
Is a box covering me from all sides
The dirt that bounds it down
And the lost cause 
that once was the life i lived.
