Will You?

from Outro by Emilie Kahn

about

"This song is a meditation on death, something I think about far too often. It was originally intended to remain a solo acoustic song, then somehow evolved into a much bigger pop track without losing it’s melancholic tone." - Emilie Kahn

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

My hands don’t work so well no more
My mind ain’t so sharp either
My hair in piles on the floor
My appetite now meagre
Slowly slipping off the edge of this world

Will you take care of me when I’m dying?
Drown in my salt water when I’m crying?
I’ve been trying all night, trying to make it fit
The pieces aren’t quite right, not like this
Crying all night, I can’t dry my tears
River meets the ocean soon

The world is a hollow place
And I am just an empty shell
Might as well loosen my grip
If we are all going to hell

Slowly slipping off the edge of this world

Will you take care of me when I’m dying?
Drown in my salt water when I’m crying?
Will you take the fall, get on your knees and burn it all?
Will you speak the psalm that I’ve been waiting for so long?

Will you take care of me when I’m dying?
(Are you ever gonna tell me what I wanna hear?)
Drown in my salt water when I’m crying?
(Are you ever gonna tell me what I wanna hear?)
Will you take the fall, get on your knees and burn it all?
Will you speak the psalm that I’ve been waiting for so long?

Crying all night, trying to make it fit
The pieces aren’t quite right, not like this
Crying all night, I can’t dry my tears
River meets the ocean soon
