What do you mean, “this isn’t safe”?

What do you mean, “this isn’t safe”?
If I don’t deal with this,
I’m already dead.

And you’ve done way worse!
And all to protect me!
What do you mean, “this isn’t safe”?

It can’t be worse than what I’ve done—
Worse than the day I died.
I’m already dead.

And you’d do the same.
After all, it’s your plan.
What do you mean, “this isn’t safe”?

This would kill you—but not me. Why?
Isn’t it obvious?
I’m already dead.

So let me do this.
And no more tears for me.
What do you mean, “this isn’t safe”?
I’m already dead.
