Clear Now

The dead tell no tales
The dead have nothing but regrets
The dead just keep on walking
The dead leave everything unsaid

You live with all your anger
You live like it's all about you
You live with a heart of cancer
You live like I mean nothing to you

The dead cannot remember
The dead rot in their regrets
The dead just can't stop talking
The dead mean nothing...cause they're dead

You judge like one sins greater than another
You judge every genuine attempt
You judge like you've earned the right
You judge like somehow you're exempt

The dead loved and still they died
The dead hoped and still they're just bones
The dead try to reach the living
But they're dead and forever alone

You act like somebody owes you
You act like you see inside my private heart
You act like little Ms. all knowing
But all that actings gonna tear you apart

I'm dead... you've made that clear now
I'm dead... so why even bother to try
I'm dead... so I guess I'll move on now
I'm dead... and dead men can't apologize

You live like a bitter princess
You live like you have a clue
You live like the universe is about you
You live like any of this is new

I'm dead... but I'll just keep on loving
I'm dead... and I'll fix what I can
I'm dead... but at least I'm still breathing
I'm dead... because God didn't make perfect men

I'm dead... because I wasn't listenting
I'm dead... because I couldn't hear your pain
I'm dead... and the dead they just can't go dancing
I'm dead... and there's no forgiveness for the grave

The dead always wish they knew
How to bring themselves back
But the living are too busy to notice
They're walking with the dead
