My Coffin

Dear blue sky
Are you afraid to die?
Do you fear you'll never see the morning?
And the twilight comes
And you lose your sun
Does it come to you without a warning?
When the brain waves stop
How will I know?
When the carbon bonds that hold me
Start to go
Is there someone buried
Beneath this skin?
Is he free when I am lost
In my coffin
Dear moonlight
When you shine at night
Do you fear you'll use up your resources?
With the sun as king
Do you feel third string
When the higher powers run their courses?
When the rain falls down
What brings it back?
Opens the resurrected cloud
From white to black
It's a second birth
For dying skin
In my coffin
In my coffin
Hey, resurrection
Hey, hey, resurrection
Hey
Resurrection comes
But death comes first
All of our entitlements and rights drive the hearse
Through maker’s death
Death is unmade
And when I lose myself I'm safe
In my coffin
Me and my coffin
