We Sang For The Dead (And The Only Answer We Got Was A Recorded Message)

Break me up, scatter the pieces,
Break me down, kick the ashes.
We've set flame to everything we have,
Burned every bridge, person, love.
Including ourselves.

We can't make it much farther,
Crawl back to each other because we have nothing else,
Lost everything in the fire.
The fire we made,
Did you forget that fact?

Dead, dead, dead,
We all sing for them.
Let's sing for the living this time,
'Cause that's what we are,
Just the empty shells they left us,
Monsters all by ourselves.

I'll let you do it.
I'll let you crush me.
I'll let you do anything.
(Burn cut hurt yell scream.)
Just do it now.

Dead, dead, dead,
We all sing for them.
Let's sing for the living this time,
'Cause that's what we are,
Just the empty shells they left us,
Monsters all by ourselves.

Pass away, pass on, past you and everything you love.
You're inching into my bed, unwanted,
Call on the phone to make it all better,
I'll let you go straight to voicemail.

Dead, dead, dead,
We all sing for them.
Let's sing for the living this time,
'Cause that's what we are,
Just the empty shells they left us,
Monsters all by ourselves.

Break me up, scatter the pieces,
Break me down, kick the ashes.
We've set flame to everything we have,
Burned every bridge, person, love.
Including ourselves.

The monsters we are, today and tomorrow,
Forever more,
Not yours,
By the piano.
