I'm dead


Geschreven 6 mei 1981

If the world would be a mirror I'd smash it to pieces
if my life would be a wash-basin I'd tear it from the wall
if my mind would be a pin-ball machine I'm certain I'd tilt it
if I weren't so dead
I'm no burden to my friends (what friends?)
I don't trouble them with the way I feel (I feel nothing)
They live their lives I just try to just exist
No one knows what I don't want to know (not even I do)
because I'm dead, everything inside has died
I'm dead, there's nothing left to hide
I'm dead, I don't feel anything anymore
I'm dead cause there's nothing left worth living for
I used to feel so good, feeling love for all that lives
especially for my darling Geraldine
I used to feel so good, I used to feel so fine
we often spent whole days in bed
then one day she died and now I'm dead
