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 to see, for a grand return,
He remains alone
Drifting away in the twilight sky,
The novelty will fade away
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's all about
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
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's all about
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?
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's all about
To be dead just for one day
To be dead, dead for a day!
To be dead just for one day
He wishes 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!
