Why can't I just die?
Let me rest in peace!
Why can't I just die?
Here, take my fleece!
Why can't I just die?
All I want to do, all I have ever wanted to do
Was to grow up and die as I wished.
I never knew the clamor that would ensue
When the angels caught me as they fished.
I did for you while the Reaper's grip grew
I want the respect that to you I dished.
Why can't I just die?
Let me rest in peace!
The ethereal planes await; yet, where am I?
Stuck at your bedstead, looking through your eye
Into the inner recesses of your mind; Fie!
I find no concession in your not letting me die.
Here, take my fleece!
Let me rest in peace!
Why can't I just die?
I bore quickly of this detestable life,
I grow tired of your lively stench.
I wish to frolic in Elysium with my fife,
And get away from this earthly wench.
No one will listen to me,
No one will yet say,
"The pain you are in I see,
Go rest in the ground till the final day,
From me now! Be away!"
Why can't I just die?
Let me rest in peace.
It will happen whether you like it or not
Face reality, face me as I am,
Face me as I
Die...
