Dead for a Day by Witherscape Lyrics
[Verse]
Dark is the day
Where his thoughts betray
Weighing on his mind
And it steals his soul
To place his trust
With memory's love
Waiting to align
Who will heal his soul?
Wait and see
For a grand return
He remains alone
Drifting away in the twilight sky
The novelty will fade away
[Chorus]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
[Verse]
He can't feel for his heart is yearning
All is lost today
You can hear him cry
Sorrowed sighs through the rolling darkness
Waiting for the time
To believe in her
Dreamer's day, when he longs to say
And take it all in stride
Sitting alone in his prisoned mind
The jaded takes its toll again
[Chorus]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
[Bridge]
Blood on the lips of his mother
Dead for a day
She warned him that this day would come
Dead for a day
Feeling he doesn't know who to trust
Dead for a day
Sin for his heart is the color red
Dead for a day
Time for the fainter
Just to hear pathetic cadence of cries
Pray to your savior
And you'll fear the crippled godsend of lies
Why can't you save me
Can you feel it in my soul?
Why can't you save me
Can you feel it in my soul?
[Chorus]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
[Outro]
To be dead just for a day
To be dead, dead for a day!
To be dead just for a day
He wished he could be dead!
To be dead just for one day
Dead for a day!
To be dead just for one day
To be dead for a day
Dead for a day
Dark is the day
Where his thoughts betray
Weighing on his mind
And it steals his soul
To place his trust
With memory's love
Waiting to align
Who will heal his soul?
Wait and see
For a grand return
He remains alone
Drifting away in the twilight sky
The novelty will fade away
[Chorus]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
[Verse]
He can't feel for his heart is yearning
All is lost today
You can hear him cry
Sorrowed sighs through the rolling darkness
Waiting for the time
To believe in her
Dreamer's day, when he longs to say
And take it all in stride
Sitting alone in his prisoned mind
The jaded takes its toll again
[Chorus]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
[Bridge]
Blood on the lips of his mother
Dead for a day
She warned him that this day would come
Dead for a day
Feeling he doesn't know who to trust

Why can't you save me
Can you feel it in my soul?
[Chorus]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about
[Outro]
To be dead just for a day
To be dead, dead for a day!
To be dead just for a day
He wished he could be dead!
To be dead just for one day
Dead for a day!
To be dead just for one day
To be dead for a day
Dead for a day
