<before i die>

Before I die Let me go back to the harsh white lights Over identical aisles of a Coles supermarket Let me go back Back to my friends To tell them I love them for the fourth time today Let me go back To hear the bird babies screaming When the sun goes down Let me eat a ready made meal That tastes like nothing After being exhausted from a long day of work Let me fill my head in with Liquid velvet that flows through the day Without me feeling a thing Let me forget I'm alive Because the absence of happiness Is what makes me feel like a child Let me see my grandmother Before she forgets my name And my face and her wit and her smile Let me yell let me laugh let me cry I'm just trudging and sinking And then you can take me away (Take me away) Do you remember when you said that you would Live forever so I wouldn't be alone Promises empty as your coffin should be But I'm aware that it is just a white lie
