It’s wrong 
He’s dead 
But not gone 
Stays in her heart 
He’s dead 
But not gone 
Still stays in her heart...

Masks put on half mast 
on everybody’s faces now 
the virus dead and gone 
or else 
the mask dead or torn 
the symptoms 
to sympathize?...

Standard bearer,
above the fray

Others follow,
trackless fields

Trailing echo’s,
dead and gone

Then tomorrow
—tomorrow then

today
we don't think
therefore we are not
descartes is dead and gone
machines and computers work and think for us
our minds are shrinking, withering and decaying from lack of exercise...

Most likely I've eaten a farmer's field of wheat
I'm loaded with fibre right down to my feet
When I'm dead and gone
Plant me on the front lawn
Such yummy Shredded Wheat can't be beat...

Birds sing their waking
Silence dead and gone
Aurora rays pierce the sky
Resurrected dawn
Sunlight drips to your lashes
Slides down to your nose
Your eyes glow in the early light
like a morning rose....

Gonna be cold and blistery from this day on
Fooled ya huh

the guard has been broke
    dead and gone
    taken out by force
    deepening the problem
    the sound boards to big
    or just to wet
    no getting past it 
    no way around
    just try hard and
spit to the left...

sun slowly sinking
drowning in a sea of night
today's dead and gone

onyx eastern sky
cock anxiously waits to crow
this day may not come...

IN DECEMBER ITS WINTER---

Water thaws air’s frozen;
The wind calls, must be winter;
The trees are dancing;
Flowers wilted all dried up and dead and gone;
Its December must be winter;

I have most likely eaten a farmer's field of wheat
I'm loaded with fibre right down to my feet
When I'm dead and gone
Plant me on the front lawn
You'll have wheat coming out of your ying yang, whatta treat!

I'm walking through
the mire

You're screaming through
the abyss

We walk along the path
Hoping for one last kiss

Everything that you thought was your own
Is now dead and gone

But now we tune into the song
that we once thought was wrong...

I can't take it anymore
it's dead and gone and it's for sure
I'm done with it, this is the end
there's nothing left here to pretend
please take it away from me
because I don't really agree
The truth is I'm fed up with it
so leave it all and let me sleep...

Parents if you hinder
Your young adult or adult child
All their life, and don’t show
Them the right way
While you’re still alive
Don’t expect your 
Other kids to take on 
The responsibility 
After your dead and gone
Because they have to live
Their lives to

Moments past, long dead and gone,
Etched still though said and done; 

Meandering to what once had been,
Olden, bygone days way back when;

Restless the ghosts of yesteryears,
In the brain like a nagging refrain;

Enduring what is best forgotten,
Surrendering to memories again....

Son, when 
I am dead and gone,
Please do not
Bring me fresh flowers
That I cannot smell,
Have roses that I cannot pluck, 
Play music that I cannot hear
Just put me in a white robe and pine casket, because
Mama going straight to heaven to receive her blessings
Thank you, sweet Jesus!...

Blue eyes filled with lies,
those eyes are breaking me down,
memories that hurt

my mask is falling,
my veil is crumbling down,
my pain is exposed

my heart fails to beat
my eyes are failing to see
I am nothing more

I am dead and gone
of this wretched life im free
now this is goodbye...

momma and daddy, dead and gone
brother and sister too
no sons, no daughters to carry on
i sit here and wait, alone
for Death has followed my trail
since the sound of my first wail
rose to meet a cold, rainy morn
no matter how many i've loved or known
i'll die as i lived and, was born
on my own... all alone...

As the sun shined, brightly, glowing
Leaving trails of mystery
Oh, the dreams of idle treasure
Filled the soul in me

But I have lost those dreams from springtime
Every one now dead and gone
And when the darkness overtakes me
I will remain without a song

If I was to die would it break your heart would you always stay with me.

Or would we fall apart would you still love me even through I'm up with god.

Or will you find somebody else when I'm dead and gone.

I know that you'll be sad and very lonely too.

 But I hope you know that no other girl will love you like I do...
