It's Great To Be Dead

(When Heaven Scrapes the Pavement)

(Love's Not)

After failing again I stared into the back of my eyelids fatigued

And a colorful array of memories disguised as fond

Made me realize I had been conned

I was not what I thought I was

Simply because a man claims to understand does not mean he does

I know this firsthand; because the life that I was leading

Was the product of an inbreeding

Society where the conception

Of another man's perception

Birthed clones

So where is the variety in that?  There's none

It's all wrong, all around the world the same song

So the metamorphosis began at my end

I can no longer pretend

That I had the power to control my own life cause the things that I was choosing

Was the reason I was losing

So when the voice said suicide

My only choice was to abide

I know that it seems sick to self inflict death

But dying to myself is the only way that I could live.
