Dead Weight (All Press is Good Press) Lyrics by Messenger Down

Cheating Death

2016

[Verse 1]
Now I don't know how to start this
'Cause I don't wanna come across sounding heartless
But unless things change, I'll be on my way
I guess I'm better off doing my own thing
We can't pretend to go on like nothing is wrong when I am on the outside
So la-la-la-lie, I'll say that it's fine
If it'll make it right
I'm out the door, on my own two feet
And now you say that you need me?
No thanks, I think I'm doing alright
Everything about what I'm doing now is all mine
[PreChorus]
And all you are is dead weight
[Chorus]
So call it a call out thread. Who's up next?
You can run your mouth for days on end
And baby all press is good press, so please press send
Don't forget to tell your friends...
[Verse 2]
You wouldn't know heart if I ripped out yours
And put it on silver plate as your main course
I'll try to keep this impersonal for your own sake
But your intentions are two shades too opaque
The mistake you partake in
Will someday find you forsaken
I hope you awaken from your sleep
Before the cheaper reaper finds the name of your black sheep
[PreChorus]
And you were always dead weight
[Chorus]
So call it a call out thread. Who's up next?
You can run your mouth for days on end
And baby all press is good press, so please press send
Make sure to tell your friends, and call me out
I'm damn sure all you talk about
You can't keep my name out of your mouth
[Bridge]
Boy, you're bound to bother, but your spineless tongue talks bland
The shade you suffocate and sulk in swallows where you stand
You think you're so fucking cool, but you're clear as glass
You can't keep those ugly words hiding behind that mask
And now I'm saying goodbye
Leaving your dead weight behind...
[Chorus]
So call it a call out thread. Who's up next?
Now go run your mouth for days on end
And baby all press is good press, so please press send
Don't forget to tell your friends
