Dead Cliche
Street to Nowhere
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I strayed from the kitchen That's where we kept the knives That could slice the tense air from clenched fists. I wasn't partial to pain But I fled home every day, Starin at the veins through the skin on my wrist. And in the morning When my throat burned like cuts and scrapes And salty dry eyes refused to wake The only warmth were cold hands of a mother She'd say "It'll be ok." And I'd be nothing but a dead cliché (a dead cliché) A dead cliché With nothing to say (nothing to say, nothing to say) But farewell notes are so passé. So shoot me in the gallery We'll call it art You can critique the bloodstains on the floor. Why let my death go to waste If I'm dying anyway I might as well have something to die for. Because I'm breathin in dead air I'm tuggin at dead skin I know the only road I walk is a dead end. And the papers would agree, It's the only fame I see Because all the greatest artists are insane Or dead. And I'd be no more than a dead cliché (a dead cliché) A dead cliché With nothing to say (nothing to say, nothing to say) But farewell notes are so passé. Made a heart out of tape and wire. I painted it the color of crying eyes I wore it on my sleeve For the vultures to see And screamed You're born, you learn, you work, decay, and die. And I'd be no more than a dead cliché, A dead cliché, a dead cliché, With nothing to say But farewell notes are so... And I'd be no more than a dead cliché (a dead cliché) A dead cliché With nothing to say (nothing to say, nothing to say) But farewell notes are so... Oh, farewell notes are so passé.
