Sometimes I question if I'm already dead
If life has left me tattered and broken

Sometimes I stare unblinking into space
Sometimes I have to remind myself to breathe

I don't know that I would care
If I live or die

If it's all the same to those I don't know
It should be all the same to those who know

Sometimes there are those who don't know me
I'm a puzzle even I cannot solve

As if life were given a dagger
And allowed at the pieces of me

I both hate and love solitude
A time when I am free

Because at one point or another
I must face those thoughts I hide away

So tell me if it's safe to love
Tell me if it's safe to live
