Dead and Dying
Dark Half Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cause you're the one they wanna see
Take away from everything
You're dead and dying
Why are You still crying?
You're the one we wanna see
Everything You mean to me
Dead and dying
Why are You still crying?

Hey yo I break my fuckin' neck just so I can feel my end
I feel this awful pain and then I wait it out again
I have no friends, I know I never did
I do not give a shit about this life, I never win
Care less about your daily pain and everything You stress
It's hard to live your life when you are constantly depressed
These infected wounds, these inflicted wounds
These things they come right at me and they hit me too soon
Do You understand? What it takes to live amongst the damned
The ones who live alone, the ones who never had a plan
I am the one who sits alone at night
Prayin' for better days where I have the will to fight
I could be a better man but sometimes I'm scared to try
Sometimes I think I'd rather die than be alive
I'm sorry that it came to this
I just wish I could exist, just wish I could exist

The way she died in front of me is so exciting
The way she was bleeding man, it was so inviting
I had to show her that I love her, put my knife through her
Twisted it from side to side and watched her body slowly quiver
As I stabbed at her liver I kissed her on her head
Should I dump her in the river? Or keep her under my bed
The last words she said, I swear they still haunt me
But that ain't fuckin' stoppin' me from keepin' the body
Obviously, it's my personal autopsy
Doin shit I seen on TV just because I'm crazy
I cut through her chest and I remove her bowels
Even though the stench is foul, I just cover it with Lysol
So I wrap her guts in ties and I quickly remove them
Make sure nobody is a witness to my mayhem




It's sad that I'll never see my baby again
Oh well, I guess I'll see that bitch the day I go to hell
