Alone

Tell the birds to cease their songs
Their cheerful chirps no longer suit the lonely
Tell the wise man to cease his gospels
If only anyone were listening, if only
Tell the mourners to cry no more
As the dead no longer care
Please bury the memories you hold
For they are no longer no longer there
Plead with the sun to stop shining
For its rays are never more bright
Call for the stars to fall from the sky
Their glory no longer pleases the night
Beg the voices in your mind to cease
They are only lying
Unplug the machine wired to my body
So that I may continue dying
Tell the government to fight their own wars
And send our soldiers home
Break the system from robbing you
Destroying all you've ever known
Tell the angels I'm on my way
And to lay away a place for me
You can find all of the remnants
Buried beneath a tree
