When I wake up in the morning the world seems dead Like the time is mourning the loss of itself Throughout the day my views do not change Even if you’re alive, you’re dead in my life I sit by the head of the table My head is usually the source of all the chaos I watch the arbor birds my mother feeds I tend to think of taking them and clipping off their tiny wings I tend to think about ripping off their tiny beaks See how morbid I can get them before they sing I think about you now and then It’s a gamble between if I’ll feel better or wish to end myself At times like those I wish I was anyone else Someone that didn’t fall under all your spells Usually I feel dead within the world around me Somehow completely disconnected from reality You said it happens because I’m unreal Coming from the depths of your darkest fantasies I wish you were an arbor bird instead At least it annoys you until you fill it with dread Not make you feel alive, then leave you messed in the head All the ****** gods of misery take a rest in that grave one day Even if you’re dead, you’re alive in my head When I close my eyes at night the world feels less dead I left although there are many words choking me, left unsaid Nothing spectacular, nothing worth to spread Goes from “I hate you” to “With you, world is a real place” You make dreams feel more real than anything else Even if you’re dead, you’re alive in my head

Even if you're dead
When I wake up in the morning the world seems dead Like the time is mourning the loss of itself Throughout the day my views do not change Even if you’re alive, you’re dead in my life I sit by the head of the table My head is usually the source of all the chaos I watch the arbor birds my mother feeds I tend to think of taking them and clipping off their tiny wings I tend to think about ripping off their tiny beaks See how morbid I can get them before they sing I think about you now and then It’s a gamble between if I’ll feel better or wish to end myself At times like those I wish I was anyone else Someone that didn’t fall under all your spells Usually I feel dead within the world around me Somehow completely disconnected from reality You said it happens because I’m unreal Coming from the depths of your darkest fantasies I wish you were an arbor bird instead At least it annoys you until you fill it with dread Not make you feel alive, then leave you messed in the head All the ****** gods of misery take a rest in that grave one day Even if you’re dead, you’re alive in my head When I close my eyes at night the world feels less dead I left although there are many words choking me, left unsaid Nothing spectacular, nothing worth to spread Goes from “I hate you” to “With you, world is a real place” You make dreams feel more real than anything else Even if you’re dead, you’re alive in my head
