So you saw your life flash before your eyes
And it took a lifetime to watch
So you felt your dreams flash across your heart
And it took a second to enjoy
There's a lesson here
There's a truth in that
That's what you will see
When only the dead go free
Only the dead go free, only the dead go free
Only the dead go free, only the dead go free
Strung up with the hopes of what we wanted
Taken down by the ashes of what we needed
Put together by all the love you have to give
Ripped apart by the beauty of it all
No trial in the words of the prayers on our lips
No evidence to suggest we ever wanted this
Trial in the words of the prayers on our lips
No evidence to suggest we ever wanted this
...or never wanted this
So you saw your life flash before your eyes
And it took a lifetime to watch
So you felt your dreams flash across your heart
And it took a second to enjoy
There's a lesson here
There's a truth in that
That's what you will see
When only the dead go free
Only the dead go free, only the dead go free
Only the dead go free, only the dead go free
And sometimes I'll die if I keep staring, everything will stop if I take it all in
And sometimes I'll die if I keep staring, everything will stop if I take it all in
Only the dead go free, only the dead go free
Only the dead go free, only your dead
Only the dead go free, only the dead go free
Only the dead go free, only your dead
The bathroom mirror gets clouded
As the questions start to appear
As the answers disappear, as the answers disappear
As the answers disappear, as the answers disappear
As your answers disappear
