Dead
The U.S. Apple Corps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Dead!
I'm Dead!
Tell my family and friends that I miss them to death
I'm not feeling red but I can feel the pain
When these motherfuckers are just taking it for granted
Fuck the fucking cyanide, I know that I can hide
I'm not spelling shit, I'm just telling you a fact
And now you can run away
And pretend it'll be okay
You can give your heart and say
That I will not be dead today
I'm Dead!
I'm Dead!
Tell my family and friends that I miss them to death
I'm Dead!
Since I pushed you away
I'm Dead!
Now I gotta pay
Tell my family and friends that I miss them to death
I'm feeling death getting closer every day
And, I can even feel my life slipping from my hands
Like a horror movie that is coming to an end
Just look me in the eyes and tell me you're feeling okay
Say you beg for mercy, to the one who spread the plagues
I can't trust the devil cause he's just standin' still
Is not blasphemistic nor against your weaker will
I just wanna know what's the dream you won't fulfill
And now you can run away
And pretend it'll be okay
You can give your heart and say
That I will not be dead today
I'm Dead!
I'm Dead!
Tell my family and friends that I miss them to death
I'm Dead!
Since I pushed you away
I'm Dead!
Now I gotta pay
Tell my family and friends that I miss them to death
Tell my family and friends that I miss them to...
Death, but I cannot stand to fight
Something in my mind is telling me to die
Take all that you have and just leave me here to write
This is the first time that I wanna be that guy
I'm Dead!
I'm Dead!
Tell my family and friends that I miss them to death
I'm Dead!
Since I pushed you away
I'm Dead!
Now I gotta pay
Tell my family and friends that I miss them to death




Tell my family and friends that I miss them to...
Dead
