Deathwish from Ecotone by Beat Noir
Based on a dream or vision or something about being isolated in death, and wanting instead to be part of something new. My friend Justin told me the part about ghosts wandering through their old lives as though nothing changed, and I hope I don't have to do that. The sound clip is from season 5 episode 9 of Six Feet Under, also called "Ecotone". HBO was considering an injunction against the sale of our record for copyright infringement, but I warned them that it would fall under fair use and we'd win; your move, Richard Plepler.

Lyrics
I guess I found myself face to face with a ghost haunting my old bedroom in my parents' home. I started to see them everywhere, walking through walls where doors used to be. It always makes me wonder what will become of me. Maybe I'll cling to life in the warmth of young ash. Maybe I'll be deep in the ground where no god can save me and I've found comfort in that. Maybe I'll grow into a tree, so mighty and so tall. Maybe I'll be just another carbon shadow burned into the wall next to you. But the world is full of sad ghosts and I don't want to be one of them.
