If I die today, would I feel sorrow?
If I die today, and not on the 'morrow
Would anyone bother looking back
Through the smokestack

To find that one glimpse of heaven
Amid a void of a thousand blank stares?
To search for that old lonely cabin
While no one else despairs

What makes it easy
Is never what makes it right
A fleeting memory now fading, ghastly
Struggling to put up any sort of fight

So now once again, I ask
If I die today, would there be any sorrow?
Certainly there would be many secrets to unmask
Yet those who care, are in number zero

Combining the high of forgetting
With the low of remembering
Bringing me back into my state of purgatory
That has made me wish for an end, even if it shall be bloody.

I declare I no longer care
Mourn him who is my heir
A life of misery awaits him.
Nothing there.

So If I die today
I don't care
And If I shall die on the 'morrow
I know, I shall feel no sorrow.
