Wilted Flowerz
Dark Half Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throw them flowers in my casket, read my eulogy, and let me go
See them crying people breathin′ right there at my funeral
This darkness is heartless, embalming my dead carcass
The art is the hardship before the soul's departed
So understand the part when, man must meet his maker
This life and death, livin′ depressed, the undertaker
Takes that last breath, that last laugh
That last phone call you ever had, and now that man's fuckin' dead
It just fucks with your head
Somebody give me a reason to keep on breathin′
Because I′m feelin' mislead
I just countdown the days, since he went away
I′m still goin' insane, ain′t shit fuckin' changed
Everything ends, good people die young
It′s hard to make amends, families lose sons, homies lose friends
And I just lost mine, so I don't give a fuck again
So fuck the world

So at my funeral, just let my casket go
I don't know you no more

The faces all around me, all my friends, and my fam
And everybody′s cryin′, momma "Why you so sad?"
Why the fuck we here, Every eye is droppin' tears
Am I the only one who doesn′t know what this is?
But then I see the casket and my own face
Starin' back at me as the room fades away
Everything is gettin′ darker, self control is gettin' harder
I don′t know where I'm a end up, in the light or in the fire?
I lived my life the very best that I could
Always trying to do what my father said I should
Put my name with a face, establish my place
Take every day at a slow easy pace
But now it's all over, and I knew I should′ve listened
Stuck with regret, and a history of sin
Why′d my life have to end, before it actually began?
I'm facing my hell, full of misery and pain

Just a shell of a man lying in this padded box
And before my casket drops, I hope ya′ll ain't forgot
How I loved you, and never wanna see you hurt
Now my body rots in darkness, buried in the dirt
Is it worth living just to die?
Will my soul really ascend to some place in the sky?
Is it all a fuckin′ lie?
Does your God really care when you're lifeless
And breathless, dead with a blank stare?
Unaware how you′re feelin' inside
Hopin' that you die, till′ it′s really your time
When will you realize life is not a game?
If you live your life in shame, then you live your life in pain
With nothing to gain, your days turn grey
And you're wishing to yourself, you were buried away




Your corpse will decay, from a life of dismay
There′s no need to pray, the Devil's on his way
