And solely folks what would speak to me had been in my head
Nobody needed to inform me I used to be DEAD
Solely individuals who liked me would go to of their desires as an alternative
They’d come to my grave and sprinkle some bread
So on my tombstone the birds could be fed
I’d give new requests however nothing was stated
Trigger nobody needed to inform me
That I used to be DEAD
They ran by means of my account just like the signal stated free bread
However nobody needed to inform me I used to be DEAD
My children would dance for me in a house I as soon as led
However children see ghosts and didn’t know I used to be DEAD
Each factor was mistaken within the press that I learn
Trigger no person would inform me that I used to be DEAD
I spotted when folks spoke to me was solely once they pread
Trigger no person would simply inform me
Bro you been DEAD
Gained’t anybody hear to at least one phrase I stated
In fact not sir
You understand how lengthy you been DEAD
Humorous it’s been a protracted very long time since I bled
You suppose somebody who prides being good as me would have identified that he’s DEAD
So now each concept solely exists in my head
I assume that’s how folks deal with people who find themselves DEAD
I came upon sooner or later on the newsstand in pergatory (sic) there was a entrance web page article of my murderers story
I used to be so shocked at what it stated
This information is for the residing
And shock… You’re DEAD”
