(Verse 1)
I’m walking through this crowded street again
A million faces, but I don’t see any men
Just ghosts in shells, they’re drifting by the glass
Ignoring every shattered dream they pass.
I tried to reach out, tried to grab a hand
But I’m speaking in a tongue they don’t understand.
The city noise is just a funeral dirge
Where apathy and misery converge.
I thought I saw a flicker in your eyes
But it was just reflection of the lies.
(Pre-Chorus)
Can you hear me?
Am I just a spectre screaming at the wall?
Does it fear me?
The silence that answers when I call.
(Chorus)
Is there someone who cares left alive tonight?
Or am I just digging through the dust?
I’m laying flowers on the grave of everything right
Choking on the ashes of our trust.
It’s a concrete cemetery, cold and gray
Looking for a heartbeat that hasn’t decayed.
(Yeah, it’s all decayed)
(Verse 2)
I used to think that I was the one to blame
For every bridge that burst into unsuspecting flame.
But now I see the arson in your smile
You’ve been dead to me for quite a while.
Why do I search for life inside a tomb?
Hoping for a flower that will never bloom.
I keep on asking if you give a damn
But you don’t even know who I am.
(Pre-Chorus)
Can you see me?
Or did you bury me with all the rest?
Believe me
I’m done putting this dead world to the test.
(Chorus)
Is there someone who cares left alive tonight?
Or am I just digging through the dust?
I’m laying flowers on the grave of everything right
Choking on the ashes of our trust.
It’s a concrete cemetery, cold and gray
Looking for a heartbeat that hasn’t decayed.
(Guitar Solo - Gritty, melodic, slowly building into a thrashing rhythm)
(Bridge)
Lay it down!
Put the roses on the granite stone!
Not a sound!
I’d rather be alive and all alone!
Than waiting for a corpse to rise!
Than waiting for you to realize!
NO ONE CARES!
(They’re all just dead inside!)
(Chorus)
Is there someone who cares left alive tonight?
Or am I just digging through the dust?
I’m laying flowers on the grave of everything right
Choking on the ashes of our trust.
It’s a concrete cemetery, cold and gray
Looking for a heartbeat that hasn’t decayed.
(Outro)
Flowers on the grave.
(Looking for someone, looking for anyone)
Just flowers on the grave.
(I know that you don't care)
Yeah, I’m leaving this dead world behind.
Leaving you behind.
