dead to the world

Take everything for granted
the ghost of me passing thru
You never see me for what I want
to be in your eyes
I'm everyone's friend
and no one's love
so slit my wrist
so I can go to sleep
and never wake up

I'm nothing
I'm a ghost
It's way too cold
here six feet under
trapped in a glass coffin
and running out of air

Someone remind me
what I'm doing here
tell me the way out
so I don't get trapped
in some worthless life
walking through
never knowing why
red is the sky
black is the tears I cry

so I'm dead
dead to the world
maybe I'll get some sleep
when I close my eyes
I hear the dirge
wonder if it's for me
I know I'm not the man
I'm suppose to be
It's a little too late
for that
