Lyrics

Dead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I returned a bag of groceries

accidentally taken off the shelf

before the expiration date

I came back as a bag of groceries

accidentally taken off the shelf

before the date stamped on myself

Did a large procession wave their torches

as my head fell in the basket?

And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Though it's over I'm dead and

I haven't done anything that I want

Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

I will never say the word "procrastinate" again

I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed

I didn't apologize for when I was eight

and I made my younger brother

have to be my personal slave

Did a large procession wave their torches

as my head fell in the basket?

And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Now it's over I'm dead and

I haven't done anything that I want

Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

So I won't

sit at home

anymore

and you won't

see my head

in the window

and I won't

be around ever anymore

I'll be up there on the wall at the store

I returned a bag of groceries

accidentally taken off the shelf

Before the expiration date

I came back as a bag of groceries

accidentally taken off the shelf

Before the date stamped on myself

Now it's over I'm dead and

I haven't done anything that I want

Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do
