ryan o'reilly - the dead lyrics

everyone was invited, now you’re sittin’ in the dark
you pretend to fall asleep so i won’t fall apart
i go to switch the light on, shut the window or you’ll freeze
i’m about to say i love you but i know you’ll disagree
there’s music from downstairs, laughing outside
i can’t see your face, i don’t know if you’ve cried
i lay my coat on the bed and untie both my shoes
i can’t see an option and it’s now time to choose

i’m the birthday boy on a scarlet ship
the life boat’s gone, the iceberg’s hit
there’s a marching band, couples holding hands
all the living and the dead
you wake up before me, push the curtains asidе
to the palest of days, the lowеst of tides
while you’re brushing your hair, there’s a knock at the door
i try to guess what you’re thinking but i’m really not sure

you’re like a figurine dancing so serene
out on the empty stage
as the party ends, you kiss all your friends
all the living and the dead

i find myself making lists in my head
untying the knots and pulling the threads
you had fallen asleep as i drive you back home
the loneliest girl that i’ve ever known
you had fallen in love but so long ago
you can’t find the pieces to let go
a childhood ghost, the immaculate host
the wedding dress, the best man’s toast
you read joyce aloud to the departing crowd
you look perfect in your dark blue shroud
a winter’s rose, misunderstood prose
the path you took but never chose
there’s a marching beat, kick up your feet
there’s beauty in a close defeat
forget what i said, i kiss your sleeping head
for all the living and the dead
the dead
