Already Dead
[Verse 1]
Dead, forgot how long it’s been
A dusty trunk where you can find your junk ruined
I’m already dead, alarm clock in my head
That’s just who I am: a broken dial you watch
When you’re sleeping in, torn up beyond repair
I'm laid out threadbare, I'm wash-stained clothes that’s filled with
Holes that can't be sewn, my thoughts are rocks upstairs
Bones are just mortar for my organs, cause I’m already

[Interlude]
“Instrumental break.​”
“With your eyes open, or your eyes closed
Take a moment to connect with where you are.​
Feel your feet on the ground without looking at anything at all.​
Just listen.​ Rest with a sense of hearing.​
Experience the show of sound that is happening around you right now
Life in stereo.​
Allow the instruments into your globe of sound.​
And when the next part comes along, let it be there.​
Without engaging, just listening to the sounds
And wish them well as they pass on through.”

[Mandolin Solo]

[Verse 2]
Dead, my blood's all filled with lead
A crooked leaky cup to keep your pencils in
I'm already dead, a landfill here I said
Really got no place, I'm just some waste compressed
I’m already dead
