Waiting To Die
WAITING TO DIE
(***Korn (Notorious BIG) - “wake up”)
(**Smashing pumpkins- “disarm”)
-------------------------------------
The sharper the blade
The deeper the cut
The slice is surprising
It’s cold and it’s clean
Blue blood turns to Red
And alarmingly streams
I caught a quick glimpse of Hell
But Fast Pain drowned my screams
Fast pain has its point
Slow pain still makes me ask why
Easier to get up off the floor
Than to still hold my head high
The crashes often don’t kill
It’s the terror on the way down
Fast Pain’s what I’m missing
Slow Pain’s what I’ve found
The sharper the blade, the deeper the cut
But this dagger is dull, yet continues to try
The gash left is jagged, leaving nothing to stitch
I’m not alive, I’m just waiting to die
(I’m waiting to die)
Slow Pain’s dagger is dull
But still continues to try
There’s no point in screaming,
Dream of death ‘till you’re numb
The cup Slow Pain offers
Makes strong men whimper with Sorrow
Screaming "Get used to this Hell,
Because, there ain't no Tomorrow!”
The sharper the blade, the deeper the cut
But this dagger is dull, yet continues to try
The gash left is jagged, leaving nothing to stitch
I’m not alive, I’m just waiting to die
(I’m waiting to die)
(softening)The blood’s long since clotted
The scar can barely be seen
Tears are no longer accepted
I have relearned how to smile
(crescendo)But even though buried by years
True Sorrow doesn’t forget
Though I’ve moved on, it still haunts me
(Scream)Slow Pain remains in my veins!
The sharper the blade, the deeper the cut
But this dagger is dull, and continues to try
The gash left is jagged, leaving nothing to stitch
I’m not alive, I’m just waiting to die
(I’m just waiting to die)
(normal sad voice-spoken)
Fast Pain is failing, Slow Pain’s not able to try
Though Fast stops your breath, Slow- each day again die
While Fast pain brought shock……
The Slow pain still makes me cry
