whenimdead
You press me down just to feel in control Say Iβm prettier when I donβt resist Your hands leave marks like a signature role Every bruise lands soft like a kiss I bite my tongue till it tastes like rust Swallow red just to keep you fed You call it love, say itβs built on trust Only whisper it when Iβm dead Will you love me when Iβm dead When I finally stay still for you When Iβm nothing in your bed Just a shape you can break in two Will you love me when Iβm gone When thereβs nothing left to defend When I donβt prove you wrong Will you love me in the end Will you love me in the end I shape myself to the cage you drew Cut out pieces that donβt align You keep the parts that belong to you Leave the rest like it isnβt mine I learned to freeze when you raise your voice Turn to stone when you cross that line You say I always have a choice But none of the choices are mine If I go limp, do I get to stay If I go cold, do you finally care Or do you need me fading away Just to keep me right there Will you love me when Iβm dead When I finally stay still for you When Iβm nothing in your bed Just a shape you can break in two Will you love me when Iβm gone When thereβs nothing left to defend When I donβt prove you wrong Will you love me in the end
