Help me
I am dying
My heartbeat
Is fading.

I feel my
Muscles weaken
So frustrating
Please save me

I try to move
But by now I can't
Muscles are dead
I'm not functioning

My lungs failing
I'm feeling faint
Is this the goodbye
I already hate?

Tears in my eyes
I watch it go
Giving my spirit in
To the river's flow

Why did I have
To see this?
Why am I forced
To see my own death?

I know I'm gone
No more goodbyes
No time to correct
My life of lies

Does it even matter
What I do?
I'll still be forgotten
In the end I lose

Is it even
Worth fighting
I'll be forgotten
No matter what I do

I dreamt it all
It was a dream
The sight of my death
was imaginary,

I realize now
I am nothing
But why am I
Still crying?

Nothing matters
When you die
You're not special
No matter how hard you try

When I die
The world will not cry
When I die
It's the end of my lies

This entire planet
Can go without me
It won't be different
When I cease to breathe

Is it even worth
Fighting now?
I realize that
I'm nothing now.

Why do we live
Why do we breathe?
The question just brings
Sorrow to me

Now the life
That I have lived
Seems like it is
so meaningless

What is the reason
Humans cry?
Why do we never
Think of our demise?

It doesn't matter
If you have fame
You cannot escape
The final pain

We're not important
When it's all finished
When all's said and done
Your death doesn't matter

When you die
The world will not mourn
My song has never been so forlorn
For when you die
The world will not cry...

This song is about perceiving life as meaningless, knowing in the end you'll be forgotten, and that you are not important. Dreaming of your own death, and realizing the world will go on without you. Seeing that nobody even thinks about it, and wondering why. Wondering why we live, and why we have to die. Knowing that "When you die, the world will not cry"
