Between the Dead and Dying

Embracing this final hour

I watch the suffering of existence disappear

Serene dreams of suicide nurse my desire to welcome decay

This numbing escape feels so sincere

Scarred from torment inside

Please help me die

Bring forth the end

Of this dearly diminished life

Acquit me of all sorrow's, for I choose to live no more

Spare me a tomorrow, let oblivion consume

Tonight there is no turning back from the inevitable

I want to taste my doom

Beneath this sallow moonlight; I no longer recognize

Any difference between the dead and dying

We are all terminal, our fate is unified

There will be no remorse as I leave this mortal life behind

Holding hands with the angel of demise

We dance upon the graves of the forgotten earthly casualties;

Drifting further from yet another sunrise

As she carries me away from blight of my mortality

Majestically her razors maim as they're acquainted with my veins

Slice deep down into this skin, release the hell that dwells within

Vehemently her razors weep as I fall into a dreamless sleep

We danced till I was anguish free and absent from humanity

Collapsing to the depths of this earth

Let me die alone, I don't want to be remembered

Exiting this life, boldly ready to know

Where the dead have gone; and the dying shall surely go

Ay, but to perish, and finally fade

Alas!

To be the nothing I once was

I shall gladly give my ebbing breath Death is all that I covet

There's no desire in staying alive

As I cross over into the unknown Consider this my final goodbye

Majestically her razors maim as they're acquainted with my veins

Slice deep down into this skin, release the hell that dwells within

Vehemently her razors weep as I fall into a dreamless sleep

We danced till I was anguish free and absent from humanity

Collapsing to the depths of this earth

Let me die alone, I don't want to be remembered

Exiting this life, boldly ready to know
