Lyrics
Dead as dead can be From what the doctor tells me But I just can't believe him Prefer the optimistic one I'm sure of your ability To become my perfect enemy Wake up to face me Rise up and show me Someday I'll say you're vacant And maybe you're better off this way Leaning over you here Cold and catatonic I catch a brief reflection Of what you could and might have been It's your right and your ability My perfect enemy Wake up, why can't you face me Rise up and show me Someday I'll say you're vacant And maybe you're better off this way Maybe you're better off this way People better off this way You're better off this way You're better off this You're better off this Maybe you're better off Wake up, why can't you face me Rise up and show me Someday I'll say you're vacant And maybe you're better off this way Go ahead and play dead I know that you can hear this Go ahead and play dead I know that you can hear me Why can't you turn and face me You fucking disappoint me
