On the eve I die alone Don't morn me simply delete me from your phone Remove my contact info erase all pics and tweets Don't simply RIP me Or shout me out on FaceBook statuses When I'm gone ignore me Go back to your regularly scheduled programming Let me slide into oblivion Where I resided in life let me rest in death If it mattered that much surely I would have known I would have sensed the emotional necessity that I placed in hearts That I etched in minds and lives So let me slip to slumber Cast out blindly on the pyre With backs turned don't mind the blaze Embrace your loved ones and hold them tight Remind them that to love and lose is to lose at best And to be stolen from and assailed at worst But still warn them of this plight And when I lay down that eve Don't wish this soul goodnight.

Goodnight
On the eve I die alone Don't morn me simply delete me from your phone Remove my contact info erase all pics and tweets Don't simply RIP me Or shout me out on FaceBook statuses When I'm gone ignore me Go back to your regularly scheduled programming Let me slide into oblivion Where I resided in life let me rest in death If it mattered that much surely I would have known I would have sensed the emotional necessity that I placed in hearts That I etched in minds and lives So let me slip to slumber Cast out blindly on the pyre With backs turned don't mind the blaze Embrace your loved ones and hold them tight Remind them that to love and lose is to lose at best And to be stolen from and assailed at worst But still warn them of this plight And when I lay down that eve Don't wish this soul goodnight.
