Lyrics

Dead

[Verse 1]

I think I hate you now

When I look back, I really hate you now

Twisted and torn, I'm fucking inside out

Boozy words come the wrong way out

My suffering isn't over with baby, pacify me

I'm alone and I'm playing roulette with my enemy

Relaxation is strangulation

My minds been fucked, mental fornication

[Pre-Chorus]

Catch me as I fall

I'm crawling up the walls

Push me to sleep

Don't talk, talk to me

[Chorus]

We're not dead

We're not dead, yet

Uh-huh

Not dead

[Verse 2]

I think I'm blacking out

Check, check on me, I think I'm blacking out

I'm bags of crazy, it's without a doubt

Boozy words come the wrong way out

Yeah, yeah

It's suffocating this conversation, got me on a leash

No escaping, I'm shakеn, taped up to reality

Intoxication takes motivation

What you doing with your gеneration?

[Pre-Chorus]

Catch me as I fall

I'm crawling up the walls

Push me to sleep

Don't talk, talk to me

[Chorus]

We're not dead

We're not dead, yet

Dead, uh-huh

I'm done but not dead, yet

Uh-huh, not dead

[Outro]

I'm not dead

Yeah, yeah

I'm not dead

Yeah, yeah

I really think you should sit down, slowly

Take a happy pill and think everything over

You feel much better now?

You feel much better now?

You feel much better now?
