They'll Clap When You're Gone - Chelsea Wolfe

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

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
