There are so many places for dying alone,
Like a car or outside in the woods.
Under a staircase or in your apartment,
Doesn't that homebrew taste good?
Won't you stay with me
In the dark?
Stay with me,
Don't ever stop.
There are so many people you don't need to bother
When you are dying alone.
Loved ones and enemies, passing acquaintances,
strangers whom you've never known.
Won't you stay with me
In the dark?
Stay with me,
Don't ever stop.
This is the prayer of those dying alone,
The most terrible fate that I know.
Grasping for hands that abandoned you
Just as your body abandons your soul.
Your soul dies alone.
Your soul dies alone.
My son, there is one
Who never could leave me
He goes by the name Father Time.
He's the reason for restlessness,
Dreams unfulfilled,
And the bags under each wrinkled eye.
I can't stay with you
In the dark.
Stay with you,
I must depart.
One bit of freedom to dying alone
It's the fate that I know that I own.
