Land of the dead
The land of the dead that's where I am,
Staring at the face of every lifeless man,
I am lifeless too,
Soon I will become brand new,
In this land of the dead I am free,
Every lost soul looking back at me,
Such beautiful words written on the headstones,
A restless, tortured ghost at home,
This land of the dead was meant for me to find,
My old life can stay far behind,
It's a world unlike any other,
Full of such bright color,
Maybe I am fucked up in every way,
But I'll choose death over life any day.

This kind of reminds me of the movie Corpse Bride— how dull and faded the living world looks and how vibrant the world of the dead appears. Nice job!
