Jay Is Dead Lyrics by Jay Joseph

Imaginary Friends

2022

[Verse 1]
All these voices need to pipe down
You don't got a thing on your hip
Keep in mind now
You don't gotta swing, you can dip
But when the mic's down
Never need to get me a hit
Keep the sound up
All the silence making me sick

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to dream of the day that I walked with the best
Then that kid grew up, saw it was all in his head
They're all just trying to get bread, I'm trying to wake up instead
Vomit words, find the cure, guess it's better than lead

[Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
They're never gonna get you
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
They're never gonna understand
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
We smile with a dead face
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
But we don't bow down for them
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
All these voices need to stand up
Now you gotta speak with your chest
Never manned up
Now you got us deep in your head
I know they playing rough
Now you wanna say that I'm dead
But if they’re talking too loud
I know they’re paying respect

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to dream of the day that I walked with the best
Then that kid grew up, saw it was all in his head
They're all just trying to get bread, I'm trying to wake up instead
Vomit words, find the cure, guess it's better than lead

[Chorus]
They're ever gonna get you
They're never gonna understand
We smile with a dead face
But we don't bow down for them
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
They're never gonna get you
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
They're never gonna understand
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
We smile with a dead face
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
But we don't bow down for them
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
