When I'm Dead

Stabbing Westward

I know the tears you're crying in your bed at night alone

I've cried those tears a thousand times

But those shallow empty songs about suicide are patronizing

You've got to learn to face your fears

Or do you think I'll be less lonely when I'm dead

It can't silence all the voices in my head

I close my eyes but I can't make it go away

Do you think I'll be less lonely

God I pray that I'm not lonely



When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead



When I'm dead I won't feel any pain

And when I'm dead I won't feel anything



When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead



I know the songs you're singing, saying nothing loud and clear

I've heard that song a thousand times

But your shallow empty lies about suicide are patronizing

You can never understand what I feel



Or do you think I'll be less lonely when I'm dead

It can't silence all the voices in my head

I close my eyes but I can't make it go away

Do you think I'll be less lonely

God I pray that I'm not lonely



When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead

When I'm dead
