No, but, Yes no I didn’t but, Yes, I did I died a thousand years ago alas, my heart did not know it This heart of mine beat on and on every breath it took, with every pitying look, it tried to sing along But the notes it sang became discordant and with every jarring note I just couldn’t I could not look, I could not see what I never wanted to hear I cannot speak, I will not think about all that I fear Did I die? Yeah... long ago! It seems like yesterday Am I dead? I guess I am You don’t see me anyway...
