Please don't tell

Please don't tell my parents that I'm dead
I started walkin' with a limp
and there's worms in my head, Oh no
I tried to fight them off
but I was bitten
I've got this
terrible hunger now
and it ain't quittin', Oh no

Please don't tell
my parents that I'm dead
I don't want them
to worry or be sad
Yeah, You can tell
my friends and family
that I'm dead, But I'm not buried.
But please don't tell my parents that I'm dead.

It started off a day like any other
How was I to know
that I would be murdered. Oh no
I tried to fight them off
but I was bitten
I've got this
terrible hunger now
and it ain't quittin', Oh no
