Everything’s Dead

My eyes are dead, there's no light in them
The blood's not red, dead man walking
The money's dead, don't have any
My dreams are dead, I don't believe them
Everything's dead

Your love is dead, and all my hope's with it
I wanna go to bed, and sleep for five years in it
Ariel's not dead, he's lonely in L.A
I tell myself that I'm not dead
That it just seems that way
Everything's dead

You know I've been around
You know I've been here a few times
I'm not just gonna drop it
Be another dying poet
Now I'm back in my cellar
Can't ask me about the weather
Someone said that to create art means
To be alone crazy forever
Everything's dead

I surrender, I'm not gonna go astray
I thought about it, I'm not gonna try
To make her pay
But I'm still in her jail
But that don't matter
What's right matters
So with my love, my love be on your way

I've got no time to mourn
I've got time to be reborn
Time to stand up straight
Get that food on the plates
I know a love that's eternal
What's this little funeral
I know that I'm not telling lies
I just got something in my eyes
Everything looks dead
