[Verse]
No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD
And only people that would walk to me were in my head
No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD
Only people who loved me would visit in their dreams instead
They would come to my grave and sprinkle some bread
So on my tombstone the birds would be fed
I would give new requests but nothing was said
Cause no one wanted to tell me I was DEAD
My kids would dance for me in a homе I once led
But kids see ghosts and didn't know I was DEAD
Every thing was wrong in thе press that I read
Cause nobody would tell me that I was DEAD
I realized when people spoke to me was only when they pread
Cause nobody would just tell me
Bro you been DEAD
Won't anyone listen to one word I said
Of course not sir
You know how long you been DEAD
Funny it's been a long long time since I bled
You think someone who prides being as smart as me would have known that he's DEAD
So now every idea only exists in my head
I guess that's how people treat people who are DEAD
I found out one day at the newsstand in pergatory there was a front page article of my murderers story
I was so surprised at what it said
This info is for the living
And surprise... You're DEAD
No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD
And only people that would walk to me were in my head
No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD
Only people who loved me would visit in their dreams instead
They would come to my grave and sprinkle some bread
So on my tombstone the birds would be fed
I would give new requests but nothing was said
Cause no one wanted to tell me I was DEAD
My kids would dance for me in a homе I once led
But kids see ghosts and didn't know I was DEAD
Every thing was wrong in thе press that I read
Cause nobody would tell me that I was DEAD
I realized when people spoke to me was only when they pread
Cause nobody would just tell me
Bro you been DEAD
Won't anyone listen to one word I said
Of course not sir
You know how long you been DEAD
Funny it's been a long long time since I bled
You think someone who prides being as smart as me would have known that he's DEAD
