Songtexte You're Dead - Alkaline Trio

What the hell is your name?
And can you explain this mess?
It seems you're playing a game
Where you only know how to take out the best

Cause if assholes could fly
This place would be busier than O'Hare
There's proof in the sky
It's as thick as our skulls yet it's thinner than air

I have something to say
If the chip off your shoulder should fall to your chest
Get it off right away
Cause if you don't, then it won't be in peace that you rest

It's just a matter of time
That we all go away to a better place, I'm told
It all sounds well and fine
But without you around I feel nothing but cold

And I now have nothing
But your heartbeat in my head
And a photograph of my traveling friend

What the hell is your name?
And can you explain this mess?
It seems you're playing a game
Where you only know how to take out the best

Cause if assholes could fly
This place would be busier than O'Hare
There's proof in the sky
It's as thin as our skulls yet it's thicker than air

And I now have nothing
But your heartbeat in my head
And a photograph of my traveling friend
And I became nothing when I found you were dead
When I found out I'd never see you again

And all the time they took talking in circles
To get them off the hook would take miracle workers
We're nowhere near prepared, there's no way of knowing
Why don't they just admit they're scared, cause its already showing

And I now have nothing
But your heartbeat in my head
And a photograph of my traveling friend
And I became nothing when I found you were dead
When I found out I'd never see you again
