Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say, we'll miss him
We'll miss him
[Verse 2]
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say, we'll miss him
We'll miss him
We are gonna miss him
We are gonna miss him
[Verse 3]
Yeah, so long
We wish you well
You told us how you weren't afraid to die
Well, so long
Don't cry here
Or feel too down
Not all martyrs see divinity
But at least you tried
[Verse 4]
Standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud, we'll miss him
We'll miss him
[Verse 5]
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart, we'll miss him
We'll miss him
We are gonna miss him
We are gonna miss him
[Verse 6]
Yeah, no way, yeah, to recall
What it was that you had said to me
Like I care at all
[Verse 7]
But it was so loud
And you sure could yell
You took a stand on every little thing
And it was so loud
[Verse 8]
You could be the one
Who saves me from my own existence
[Verse 9]
Warm while some child might chill, nine-one-two
[Verse 10]
I'm too smart when you're invisible by the bone symbol on you
So he bashes his skull through the window while looking out to the sea
Like torment of my ego, and we're amused by this
[Verse 11]
Yeah, standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud
And I swallowed his façade, because I'm so
Eager to identify with someone above the ground
Someone who seemed to feel the same
Someone prepared to lead the way
And someone who would die for me
[Verse 12]
Will you?
Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fucking lie
[Verse 13]
Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you fucking lie
[Verse 14]
You've claimed all this time
That you would die for me
Why then are you so surprised
When you hear your own eulogy?
[Verse 15]
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
[Verse 16]
Come down
Get off your fucking cross
We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr
[Verse 17]
To ascend, you must die
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies
Goodbye!
