I suppose I am dead

I suppose I am dead

I suppose I died

I wonder why everyone says it’s so great

Why it’s the new salvation- oh they lied

I wonder why they say everyone has white wings

And they go around with harps and sing

And that everyone is young

Their life has just begun

I wonder why that’s what they say

Now that I’m dead

I really know what’s here

There’s no heaven

There’s no hell

As far as I can tell

No-one had to fear

The people told the stories

You’ll be good-and you’ll get glories!

If you’re bad you’ll go to hell

And that is the lie they tell

But now that I’m here

I can never go back

And even if I did

They’d say

You’re a ghost-you don’t know jack

So no-one will ever know

What’s really after death

Until they get here

And for all eternity think of their regrets

I am dead

I died

I suppose

I can feel no blood no more

No beating heart

No blocked up nose

In a way it is peaceful

In another it is sad

Now I sit here for a while

And go completely mad

There is nothing here

Just dark

There is nothing

Just stark

It’s an endless pit

And I’m in it

A pit of despair

I don’t need to care
