Lyrics for Dead
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 (Did a) Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-) And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?) Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over) 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 (Did a) Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-) And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?) Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over) Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do (So) So I won't (Sit) sit at home (And) anymore (And) and you won't (And) see my head in (And) the window (And) and I won't (And) be around (And) ever anymore (And) and 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 Did a large procession wave their (Did a) Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-) And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?) Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over) Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over) Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do
