Lyrics

There’s no use pretending
This life is unending or cruel
The litany is endless
But the feelings behind it have cooled
And I could care less
About a silhouette down by the shore
We play Dead People’s Music
And we mistake the mirror for more

When the storyline’s fractured
And the details of the dream are too much (too much)
I kick out the stage lights
I flick every switch that should remain on
Now I couldn’t hear
The sirens through the city’s rain veneer
We play Dead People’s Music
And we mistake the mirror for more

Some Noble Human Motive
You Stick Together Or You Hang Alone
This Is An Adventure
& It Can Never, Ever, Ever, Ever Stop
& It Can Never, Ever, Ever, Ever Stop

So there’s no use pretending
This life is unending or cruel
The litany is endless
But the feelings behind it have cooled
I couldn’t see
The forest through the dark, twisted trees
We play Dead People’s Music
And we mistake the mirror for more
We play Dead People’s Music
And we mistake the mirror for more
We play Dead People’s Music
And we mistake the mirror for more
