Already Dead - Silverstein

You won’t find me here

The place that you expected me to be

In my bed on the second floor

I’m outside your house

I’m closing in on you

And all the times you smiled

You said hello and thought I was ok

I was planning your final struggle

When you wake up, I’ll be there

When you see me, you’ll be on your back again

When you, when you, when you, when you

Know you’re already dead

You’ll love me, too

You will find me here

The place you least expected me to be

Breaking through your basement window

I’m outside your room

I can hear you breathe

And all the times you laughed

You shook my hand and thought I was your friend

I was planning your tragic ending

When you wake up, I’ll be there

When you see me, you’ll be on your back again

When you, when you, when you, when you

Know you’re already dead

You’ll love me, too

You’ll look down on me

With eyes of endless tragedy

Try and stop the pain

But there’s never closure

Find your solace in what you could have been

When they look for me

The evidence is buried deep

Try to guide the way into the darkness

When you wake up, I’ll be there

When you see me, you’ll be on your back again

When you, when you, when you, when you

Know you’re already dead

You’ll love me, too

Looking down on me

Through eyes that never stop crying

Looking down on me

Will you ever look away?
