Dear Death…
Today is such a fine day
Why am I not your prey?
Dear Death…
I’ve waited so long for you to come
My whole body has gone numb
Dear Death…
Why do you take so long?
Have I done something wrong?
Every morning I listen for your call
Every day I get home, nothing changed
I wonder, am I speaking to a wall?
Maybe this life has been arranged
Living through my story, a burning hell
I ask myself, is this real?
Work feels like being in a prison cell
Dear Death, won’t you make a deal?
You get to keep my soul, my heart, my everything
And the price for it? Blissful silence all year long
I want no afterlife, no heaven, no angels wings
You heard me right, there’s nothing wrong
Dear Death…
Was that a no?
Why must you be so slow?
Dear Death…
I got no reply from you
Even though it is long due
Dear Death…
How have you been?
What does this silence mean?
While you were silent, life went on
And I really can’t tell if that’s good or bad
I’m still crying into my pillow until dawn
My thoughts, they keep turning sad
I’ve waited for you every second
Each moment I could spare
And there was a time where I reckoned
That you were aware
On Sunday after the sun went down
During fall when leaves lay on the ground
I peeked into the mailbox with a frown
There was indeed a letter found
Dear Nathan…
I’m sincerely sorry for the delay
I hope this letter found its way
Dear Nathan…
I’m afraid I can’t complete your quest
And I hope you’re not distressed
Dear Nathan…
What you really want isn't to die
You want to fade away, close your eyes
Dear Death…
That much, I already know
