Dead

(From Play)

Don't turn around, don't walk away
I just had a cry, and I deny that I didn't say
I was fragile every moment I was free
Listen to me

People around keep on doing me wrong
I have lived a full life, and now I must move on
To where the penitent and damned hang out to dry
Why did I try?

You gave your best, but that's just not good enough
Though you protest, no one answers

Everything's so much clearer,
But no one can see what goes on in my head
Everything's so much clearer
Now that I'm dead

And I still can recall
When you were crying
Am I sad? Not at all
At least you're not dying

Don't turn around, don't go away
I'm not satisfied, and I've decided to liberate
My mind and soul- just so you know you're not too late
You won't change my fate

Life just keeps pushing, when I push it back,
I find that maybe I've been hypnotized, and one thing I lack
Is an ability to say what I believe,
Get up, and leave

You gave your best, but that's never good enough
In your distress, no one answers

Everything's so much clearer,
But no one can see what goes on in my head
Everything's so much clearer
Now that I'm dead
