the rules of dying

How can you be cautious
With nothing to lose
How can you be careful
While tying a noose

Headlights can save you
When you're in the wrong place
And headlights can kill you
When they're right in your face

How can you feel calm
While watching a slaughter
How can you feel peace
While drowning in water

How can you be scared
If you're already dead
But how can't you be scared
With a gun to your head

How can you be happy
If you're living like this
How can you be safe
While cutting your wrists

How can you die
While staying alive
How can you be sorry
While taking your life

How do you feel big
In a world where you're small
And how can you jump
If you're scared of the fall

How can you end things
Without going too quick
And how do you overdose
Without getting sick

How can you be cautious
With nothing to lose
And how can I love you,
If you're empty too?
