"I'm Already Dead"
lyrics and music by Loren Jan Wilson (as part of the pitchformula.com project)

[verse 1]
I can't keep doing this, I can't go on in this way, not today
I told you I was gone, but you're too strong and I'll stay anyway
we made some love but now it's all used up
we're growing old but we're not growing up
you never want to talk about the past, but there's a secret I can't hide
I never thought I'd have to tell you

[chorus]
I'm already dead
inside my head
you kill me in my sleep
with the words you never speak
I'm already dead
I'm blind and deaf
you're all over me
you're suffocating me so sweetly

[verse 2]
the ground shakes when we walk
there's thunder when we try to talk
does it have to be this way?
is everything a game? and do you have to always win?
I'm trying to see the waves I'm drowning in cause I hear they're beautiful
do you think they're beautiful?

I'm not worth anything to anyone (you're my father, you're my brother)
and I can't be anything for anyone (you're my sister, you're my mother)
I can't escape the feeling that I'm done 
with everything I'll ever do that means a thing to anyone (because)

[double chorus]

[breakdown/outro]
there's no way out of this
you're a girl and i'm a boy
so sick and tired now of everything, yeah
keep coming back to this
i'm a girl and you're a boy
so sick and tired now of everything, yeah
