Lyrics

[Intro]
It's the end
[Instrumental]
Butterfly knives alive and they are cutting my insides
Smother me to sleep or a sing me a lucid lullaby
'Cause when I close my eyes at night, will I wake up? Will I die?
Tell me another lie, so I can think that I'm alright
[PreChorus]
Into the unknown, on my gravestone
[Chorus]
I just wanna know what happens when I'm dead
Living in an epidemic in my head
Are my skin and bones just a rental home?
'Cause I just wanna know what happens when I'm dead
[PostChorus]
It's the end
[Instrumental]
So check my vital signs to see if I am here
Brainwaves from graves that haunt you and never disappear
If this pale skin is all I get, let me bleed and let me sweat
I really wanna do all of it and be insubordinate
[PreChorus]
Into the unknown, on my gravestone
[Chorus]
I just wanna know what happens when I'm dead
Living in an epidemic in my head
Are my skin and bones just a rental home?
'Cause I just wanna know what happens when I'm dead
[Instrumental]
I just wanna know what happens when I'm dead
Living in an epidemic in my head
Are my skin and bones just a rental home?
'Cause I just wanna know what happens when I'm dead
[Outro]
When I'm dead
When I'm dead
