When I'm gone
Sing me a song
About love and how it never stays
When I've faded
And I've finally made it
To the peace and security of heaven's gates
Lay me down in a wooden boat
And send me away in the river
Engulf my body in flames
So my body will no longer shiver
From the cold in my bones
From the ice cold stones
That were thrown at me
Now I'm not alone
Don't cry for me
Just know I've been set free
To a beautiful, painless wonderland
Don't tell the world
About how you loved your little girl
Because you and I both know that's not who I am
Poison my lips with an antidote
Make me something I never wanted to be
Tell everyone that I was a righteous soul
Tell them I lived a beautiful reality
But that's just not true
All the dark times I go through
I'm nothing short of a mess
Tell the people the truth
Dress me to die
In a black shirt and red tie
And cut my hair until I'm right
Play "Carry On My Wayward Son"
And before the day is done
Tell them all that I said farewell and goodbye
