The Dead Lyrics

When I was twelve years old I held a gun

All the way up to my head, but I had someone

I watched the world fall apart

So many drift away

Left out in the dark

But the snow is falling

On the living and the dead

If that road is calling

From where you bled

Oh, I know this could be

A vague memory

Oh I know

When I was nineteen years old

Everyone kept telling me their answer for the world

I know there's so much to believe

But even in our simple dreams

There's so much we can't see

So if that's all we're asking

To feel again

And if that's all we're wanting

To reach the end

Oh, I recognize

The fear in your eyes

Oh I know

So now we're standing at the edge

WIth everyone in agony

Stuck inside their heads

But sometimes I see a way out

Through the self-imposed destruction

The fear, despair, and doubt

But the snow is falling

On the living and the dead

If that's all we're wanting

To reach the end

Oh I know we can sing

A new melody

Oh I know

Oh, oh, oh, oh
