"THE DAY I DIE" lyrics

"THE DAY I DIE"

Haven't seen the light of day
Since god knows when
Couldn't force a smile even if I tried
My heart is empty
And my bones won't mend
Feels like the river's running dry

And I
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
Where I
Escape the darkness in my own mind
It's like
A mental funeral
Something beautiful
I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don't wanna wake up

Melancholy creeps in like a thief in the night
Resentment tries to have its day
I know I'm just another dog in their fight
Feeding on the scraps of my mistakes, yeah

And I
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
Where I
Escape the darkness in my own mind
It's like
A mental funeral
Something beautiful
I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don't wanna wake up

And I don't wanna wake up, yeah
And I don't wanna wake up, yeah

I keep on dreaming
I keep on dreaming
I keep on dreaming
I keep on dreaming

Yeah

And I
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
Where I
Escape the darkness in my own mind
It's like
A mental funeral
Something beautiful
I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don't wanna wake up

Yeah, I don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up
