“Death Bed” encapsulates a blend of raw emotional storytelling with a relatable narrative that many find therapeutic.

Death Bed Lyrics (coffee for your head) – POWFU
Don’t stay awake for too
long, don’t go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head
It’ll get you up and going out of bed
Yeah, I don’t wanna fall asleep,
I don’t wanna pass away
I been thinking of our future
cause I’ll never see those days
I don’t know why this has happened,
but I probably deserve it
I tried to do my best,
but you know that I’m not perfect
I been praying for forgiveness,
you’ve been praying for my health
When I leave this earth, hoping
you’ll find someone else
Cause yeah, we still young,
there’s so much we haven’t done
Getting married, start a family,
watch your husband with his son
I wish it could be me,
but I won’t make it out of this bed
I hope I go to heaven
so I see you once again
My life was kinda short,
but I got so many blessings
Happy you were mine,
it sucks that it’s all ending
Don’t stay awake for too
long, don’t go to bed
I’ll make a cup of
coffee for your head
It’ll get you up and going
out of bed (Yeah, ayy)
Don’t stay awake for too
long, don’t go to bed
I’ll make a cup of
coffee for your head
It’ll get you up and
going out of bed (Ayy, yeah)
I’m happy that you are here with me,
I’m sorry if I tear up
When me and you were younger
you would always make me cheer up
Taking goofy videos and
walking through the park
You would jump into my arms
every time you heard a bark
Cuddle in your sheets,
Sing me sound asleep
And sneak out through
your kitchen at exactly 1:03
Sundays, went to church,
on Mondays, watch a movie
Soon you’ll be alone,
sorry that you have to lose me
Don’t stay awake for too long,
don’t go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head
It’ll get you up and going out of bed
Don’t stay awake for too long,
don’t go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head
It’ll get you up and going out of bed
Don’t stay awake for too long, don’t go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head
It’ll get you up and going out of bed
Don’t stay awake for too long, don’t go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head
It’ll get you up and going out of bed
Don’t stay awake for too long, don’t go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head
It’ll get you up and going out of bed
