Living When You've Died

from Something to Die to by Paul Bäcklin

/

lyrics

You’re still here in the morning sun
mourning son
You’re in the wind.
You’re in the sound.
You’re not around.

Everywhere I walk, you’re in the ground.
Your body is dead, but it still has you bound.
You’re not around.

Your picture’s on the wall over my bed,
So if you would fall you’d fall in my head.
Where you’re never dead.

It kills me to see you getting killed in you.
Trapped in a shell of eternal gloom.
The void won’t let you through.

If you would want to end it, no one would chide,
Because you are so strong, and so strongly admired.

You’ll keep living when you’ve died.
