Mostly Dead is Slightly Alive Lyrics by Vacant Territory

Imagining the Truth and Believing the Lies

2020

[Verse - Joe]
There was an angry song in the bunch
But I decided to take it out
If I want things to be fine
I have to stop going out of line
And lying to myself
Like I don’t think about you all the time
Even when I’m trying not to
You come into the door
I might as well be a mess of things
That litter your bedroom floor
I’m not a victim, but If I try
To explain that all the time
Reverse psychology sits and cries
And I stay here the bad guy
[Chorus]
I’ll take on all the hate and blame
Beelzebub can carve my name
Into the walls of Hades
It won’t stop me from waiting
Cause constantly
I’m racked with fear
That you’ve forever disappeared
And I have a mouth but I can’t scream
Haunted by what you and I would be
[Verse]
I cannot understand
Why I picture the color of your hair
And your eyes, and your teeth in a smile
But I haven’t seen them in a while
Why do I sit and stare
Waiting for a bomb to drop down
Through the air
I have never been this less than fair
[Chorus]
I’ll take on all pressures and shame
Mephistopheles has carved my name
Seven layers deep in Hades
Forever I’m still waiting
Cause constantly
I’m racked with fear
That you’ve forever disappeared
And I have a mouth but I can’t scream
Haunted by what you and I would be
[Interlude - Liam]
Why can’t you see
The way to be
The way you were
When you were next to me
Cause’ I can’t find a way
For you to stay the same
After everything
You thought that I could not be
I don’t want you to go
I just want you to stay
Just want to say
[Outro / Chorus Chords]
I can’t stop crying
I can’t
No I can’t
I’m so scared of dying
I can’t
No I can’t
I can’t help crying
I don’t want to lose another one like you
I’d go through all I’ve gone through again
Still, I’m fighting for you
