Hello Mother Hello Father I'm Dead

from Let's Play Mortuary Dress Up by Alien Skin

lyrics

the two faced man with the skeleton head
is pointing a finger at me
the lake of fire that drowns my skin
swallows every part of me
the precipice from which i jumped
seems a thousand years ago
the eyes i had when i could see
i'll never have again
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
the empty room is full of life it slashes violently
the toxic fog makes me want to wretch
but there's nothing inside of me
this world is neither good or bad it has no agency
i pull back my hands from grasping gloves
trying to bury me
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
