When I perish in the age of my youth
I want you to tell the people I love
All my feelings and all the truth
Tell them the life I dreamed of
A life like a bird who wanders
Tell my parents I have died trying
Trying to fight off my demons
But what just happened is I tried dying
For I have no reasons to win
So I let darkness take in
Still I have some innocence of a child
So I want you to burn my body whole
Scatter my ashes in the ocean
Keep my love in your heart
Relieve our memories in your mind
And remember that my death is just the beginning,
A beginning of a world without me in it

When I perish in the age of my youth
I want you to tell the people I love
All my feelings and all the truth
Tell them the life I dreamed of
A life like a bird who wanders
Tell my parents I have died trying
Trying to fight off my demons
But what just happened is I tried dying
For I have no reasons to win
So I let darkness take in
Still I have some innocence of a child
So I want you to burn my body whole
Scatter my ashes in the ocean
Keep my love in your heart
Relieve our memories in your mind
And remember that my death is just the beginning,
A beginning of a world without me in it
