Dead and Gone (Electro Remix) - Hoodfellas

Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) One year ago with a flower in hand One year ago we wrote our names in the sand The wind would blow your summer hair (One year ago) Once easy love, now you're making it rough You know I try and say it's never enough You left with ease and didn't care (One year ago) What used to seem like heaven Feels like hell I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna get some fucking sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh Ten years from now we'll be tired and old Ten years from now we won't ever leave home Singing "I'll be there for you" (Ten years from now) Give me the one and only reason that could make me believe You were everything I want, But not the thing that I need It's hard to say, it's sad but true What used to seem like heaven Feels like hell I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna get some fucking sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone Nothing left here to say Nothing to celebrate Nothing left here to say Nothing to celebrate I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna get some fucking sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone You only get redemption when you're dead and gone Oh Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh When you're dead and gone

A circus of madmen running the show Where are we heading? Nobody knows Too much confusion with no end in sight A prison of promise polluting our minds Oh, no My heart's beating, buried alive Open my eyes, my soul won't survive Dead and gone My heart's beating, everyone cried Said their goodbyes, covered in lies Dead and gone The future is bankrupt, with no change to spare The city's on fire, a family affair You call it destruction, but you hold the knives The people's induction, the people's demise Oh, no My heart's beating, buried alive Open my eyes, my soul won't survive Dead and gone My heart's beating, everyone cried Said their goodbyes, covered in lies Dead and gone So gone Hungry as vultures, craving the thrown Posing for pictures, then eating your own Raising our voices, feed the machine They're coming to save us, but watching us bleed Oh, no My heart's beating, buried alive Open my eyes, my soul won't survive Dead and gone My heart's beating, everyone cried Said their goodbyes, covered in lies Dead and gone Dead and gone forever, baby Dead and gone forever Dead and gone Dead and gone forever, baby Dead and gone forever Dead and gone So gone
