I've been told I should be dying,
Like to test it out one night.
I'd like to suffocate you,
I'd like to put out your light.
Just this one time.
To see what it is like.
Without this life of mine.
So I'd like to try out dying.

I've been told that i should be flying,
Been told by the winds passing by.
I've been told that i should have feathers,
That I should be soaring in the sky.
Spiralling all around.
Forever I'll be free.
Never touch the ground.
So I'd like to try out flying.

I've been told that I should be sad
Tears on my face tell I've been crying,
The pain in my eyes shining
As all your words show me you're lying
Your touch turns me away.
Helps me make decision.
In life I shall not stay.
So I've been told that I am sad.

I've been told I should have emotion,
But you've taken it away from me.
You showed me truth from fiction,
And the person you helped me be.
I stopped feeling long ago.
Stopped myself from pain.
Wiped you from all I know.
So I've been told I have no emotion.

So then I tried out dying.
Showed me how to complete.
I drew the knife across my skin
And somehow I did this feat.
I had emotion, was sad.
And freely I flew.
I did not feel bad.
Because I have tried out dying.
