Still You See Me

It was my perfume de' decay
Close your eyes and wish me away
Still you see me, knowing I'm dead
You almost didn't believe it
after seeing, you must admit
it had to sink into your head
Blue blood I bled in a short time
I was young, I'd say in my prime
but that's only my point of view
Now I'm a bone bag on the ground
my soul's not there, no longer bound
finally free, away it flew
I was foretold to fear the light
and beware the moon when it's blue

Close your eyes and wish me away
nothing happened to your dismay
I befriended Death's brother Dread
Still you see me, knowing I'm dead
the smell turned your stomach a bit
took all you had not to vomit
save face you went outside instead
Still you see me, knowing I'm dead
the experience was sublime
you got used to it over time
while watching blood turn black and red
Still you see me, knowing I'm dead
close your eyes and wish me away
Still you see me, knowing I'm dead
