They'll Clap When You're Gone

Lyrics for They'll Clap When You're Gone

I can feel the walls closing in And I don't want to talk anymore Wish I could quietly slip away And leave you here with no void The only reason I stay is to care for you Everything else in me has atrophied And I am cold and painless now I want to live but I feel nothing When can I die? When can I go? When will I be free? When will I know? When can I run? My legs are bound When can I go? When can I go? Was born a blackened seed in the wild And I never was a child I was pulled right out of the sea And the salt, it never left my body Someone opened me up while I was sleeping And filled my body right up with sand I carry a heaviness like a mountain It forces me to remain Alive and ugly, alive and ugly Alive and ugly, alive and ugly When can I die? When can I go? When will I be free? When will I know? When can I run? My legs are bound Can I leave here, knowing you'll be strong without me They'll clap when you die They'll love you when you're dead And they'll understand And you'll be forgiven then They'll clap when you die They'll love you when you're dead And they'll understand And you'll be forgiven then They'll clap when you die They'll love you when you're dead And they'll understand And you'll be forgiven then and then They'll clap when you die They'll love you when you're dead And they'll understand And you'll be forgiven then They'll clap when you die They'll love you when you dead And they'll understand And you'll be forgiven then
