After.Life

What would you do if someone told you you were dead and you weren't ?

She's lies on the examination table

"You're dead, you see?"

"I can't be dead, it's not to be!

Let me out of this place, I should be free!"

 

Her skin pallor has gone death pale

Sunken cheeks, cold flesh

A giant scar upon her forehead

Made by that "car accident", it's really fresh

 

She argues with the coronor

Her death is not legit

She believes to be alive

And even he says she's it

 

The makeup looks so contrasting

Against how white her skin has got

She looks like the corpse she is

That room is the opposite of hot

 

The coronor has told her she's dead

Her wonderful boyfriend never cried

She starts to believe the death's curse

And accepts she has finally died

 

How can he talk to her

Like she's one of the living

She's tried killing him , twice now it seems

And of this he is still forgiving

 

She still wants to escape

He's stitched her up, put makeup on

Forces her in the funeral attire

Now under the ground she has gone

 

Six feet under, struggling for breath

She knows she's not dead, it's not possibly true

Bloody nails from the coffin, she scratches them bare

As time passes on she starts to feel blue

 

And he tries to rescue her, the faithful and scared boyfriend

Digging under the ground, a race against time

Her coffin appears, it's finally opened

And for himself it looks like life, is a nickel for a dime

 

CPR is his option, she needs to be alive

He loves her with all his heart, say it once for her

But all of this was a sick and twisted trap

Shall we say a masochistic lure ?

 

The coronor won't let them live

They shouldn't know his schemes

So for the coffin the girl and boy go

But this wasn't all in their dreams
