lyrics

a chill crept through my bones
it wasn’t cold
it was fear
unreasoning and abysmal fear
have you ever experienced the terrifying thought
that someday
you might, by some accident,
be abandoned?
you might, by some accident,
be buried alive
abandoned
given up as dead?
have you thought about death lately?
not the fact that it’s inevitable
that it must come to all of us someday
but rather how it will come
dead
abandoned
and buried
buried alive
dead
abandoned
given up as dead
and buried
dead
buried alive
and buried
abandoned
given up as dead
and you think that is the end?
of course
it’s the end of mortal life
have you thought about death lately?
not the fact that it’s inevitable
that it must come to all of us someday
but rather how it will come
do you think of it as asleep,
and awake?
of a sudden transition from one state of being to another?
or to a state of non-being?
there’s nothing left of it
it’s gone as if it had never existed
it’s that that frightens me
i can’t stand much more of this i can’t
i can’t stand much more of this i can’t
if i don’t find someone who really cares about me
who’ll treat me like a normal human being
it’s driving me mad
i must tell someone
i’m hunted
traveling by night
not daring to risk showing myself
and all of the time haunted by this
this face you see here
waking up at night to see it staring at me
i tell you it’s driving me insane
if you have ever ridden a nightmare
you know what a hellish mount
it can make
it carries you, unwillingly,
beyond anguish and terror
insane i tell you
all of this horror
these scenes of cruelty
they weaken my faith in my fellow man
anybody out there?
not a soul
i’m just feeling too depressed
you’re not depressed
you’re haunted
is it true that,
when you are very close to death,
the dead are really able to reach out to protect you?
it all ended
ended almost before it began
do you realize what its like
lying here helpless
completely isolated
as if i were all alone in the world
or…
isn’t there someone i can talk to
it means death
