There's no use pretending 
This life is unending or cruel 
The litany is endless 
But the feelings behind it have cooled 
And I could care less 
About a silhouette down by the shore 
We play Dead People's Music 
And we mistake the mirror for more 
When the storyline's fractured 
And the details of the dream are too much (too much) 
I kick out the stage lights 
I flick every switch that should remain on 
Now I couldn't hear 
The sirens through the city's rain veneer 
We play Dead People's Music 
And we mistake the mirror for more 
Some Noble Human Motive 
You Stick Together Or You Hang Alone 
This Is An Adventure 
& It Can Never, Ever, Ever, Ever Stop 
& It Can Never, Ever, Ever, Ever Stop 
So there's no use pretending 
This life is unending or cruel 
The litany is endless 
But the feelings behind it have cooled 
I couldn't see 
The forest through the dark, twisted trees 
We play Dead People's Music 
And we mistake the mirror for more 
We play Dead People's Music 
And we mistake the mirror for more 
We play Dead People's Music 
And we mistake the mirror for more
