Living Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every day I feel the same
Stuck, and I can never change
Sucked into a black balloon
Spat into an empty room
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Was it really worth it?
Did I really deserve it?
It happens when you're hurting
And cut me at the surface of my heart
Of my heart-heart-heart
[Chorus]
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Only alive-live-live-live
When I pretend-tend-tend-tend
That I have died, died, died, died, died, died
I haven't lived life, I haven't lived love
Just bird's eye view from the sky above
I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead
[Verse 2]
Got bubble wrap around my heart
Waiting for my life to start
But every day it never comes
Permanently at square one
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When it's late at night
I'm so dissatisfied
The weight of an empty life
Will lessen in the moonlight
In the light
In the light-light-light
[Chorus]
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Only alive-live-live-live
When I pretend-tend-tend-tend
That I have died, died, died, died, died, died
I haven't lived life, I haven't lived love
Just bird's eye view from the sky above
I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead
[Bridge]
I lay back in a glittering mist
And I, I think of all the men, I
I could have kissed
I haven't lived my life, I
Haven't lived love, it's just
A bird's eye view from
From up above
[Chorus]
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Only alive-live-live-live
When I pretend-tend-tend-tend
That I have died, died, died, died, died, died
I haven't lived life, I haven't lived love
Just bird's eye view from the sky above
I'm dead, dead, dead, dead
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead
[Outro]
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Only alive-live-live-live
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Only alive-live-live-live
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Only alive-live-live-live
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
I'm living dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead
