I shouldn't have taken the wheel

Why God?
Why does it have to be this way?
Why her? Why not me?
Why?

Underneath the silky white sheet
I make out your face
Another red dot puts the end to poet’s words as life silences us
All hope has grown wings and flown away
I am to blame

(Between the sheets and us)

Another drop falls, unnoticed in the pouring rain, as we stand paralyzed
We have no idea what we have until it’s gone

Why God? I should be in that bed. I should be picked up for this
I should be dying, not her, oh, this is not happening!

This is all a dream
This must be a dream
But the pain is so real

Pulled down by the weight of life
She breathes no more
Under the weight of life we are
So weak and small

Pulled down by the weight of life
She breathes no more
Under the weight of life we are
So weak and small

Sit down

The doctor’s words have pushed me into trance
This pain I couldn’t bare
Leaving me with just a memory
And to wonder what could have been?
If you are here to hear the news of our unborn child

This world is nothing
Without you

Why must death come so soon
It’s always too soon

There is no God, there is no fate, there is no world
Just nothingness
There is no God, there is no fate, there is no world, there’s nothing

Pulled down by the weight of life
She breathes no more
Under the weight of life we are
So weak and small

I cannot look into my eyes
And see what I’ve done
We are too weak and the flesh is frail
And torn apart now

We are all already dead
