Dearly Departed (feat. Bert McCracken) - The Used

I gave you everything, took you under my wing With open arms brought you in the family You took the life from me, now you're my enemy Soon to be a memory of the dearly departed We were the best of friends Thought it would never end I curse the day they said you're selling me out Now everybody's hurt You're singing like a bird Spilling all your guts like a dirty rat When it's time to die You can cry your heart out when you're lying face down The cards, they never lie Don't tell me that you're sorry 'Cause no one else is sorrier than me Whatever happened to the person I once knew? You always had my back when all the bullets were flying You know we had it all but I won't take the fall I'll never turn my back on the ones who love me When it's time to die You can cry your heart out when you're lying face down The cards, they never lie Don't tell me that you're sorry 'Cause no one else is sorrier than me When it's time to die You can cry your heart out when you're lying face down The cards, they never lie Don't tell me that you're sorry 'Cause no one else is sorrier than me No one's sorrier than me No one's sorrier than me No one's sorrier than me

Damn, dearly departed (ha-ha-ha-ha) Been there done did this You got the t-shirt with my number on it Ain't going back there's no backtrack Having flashbacks of that last time Gave it all until my last dime Did mine and they switch sides Came home with a different mind Ain't no open chairs here at dinnertime Had your hand out and I lent mine You showed yours and it's not the same When it gets the grain and it's such a shame We were so cool now it's hot flame On my back listen I'm Raymond Red But there's no feds just me and you Got a clear view with a back hard enough shit to lose That I'ma see it through I ain't being rude, I'm just speaking truth If it's rotten to the core gotta pull the tooth I ain't the fool and I drank the juice They shook my cage and then they let me loose (huh) Did you do that for? Monkeys can't hang with gorillas And I'm all out of bananas to feed y'all Ooh baby, ooh baby, proceed with caution Move baby, move baby, we're in the darkness Ooh baby, ooh baby, why I'm so heartless? Dearly departed, dearly departed Ooh baby, ooh baby, proceed with caution Move baby, move baby, we're in the darkness Ooh baby, ooh baby, why I'm so heartless? Dearly departed, dearly departed More money more problems no changing that They pop in when they need you and fade to black Talking this, talking that but let's state the facts So many knives in my back, I can make a map I woke up and I pray for you man (I pray for you man), and I pray for your fam If a man gets bit for holding a snake in his hand Who do you blame, the snake or the man? Pulling all these skeletons out of my closet I fucked around and ended up fighting the monster I fucked around and found out my house was haunted I can't believe there's a confidential informant I played up for the ones trying to down me I gave a life right after those trying to drown me Went to the circus with the ones trying to clown me I didn't see all these vocals clownin' round me I talked to Mondo in a dream, he said fuck it We've been through worse, this ain't nothing Made it out the streets big boy, ain't that somethin' You can always go home where they still gon' love ya (I talked to Mondo in a dream, he said fuck it) (We've been through worse, this ain't nothing) (Made it out the streets big boy) (Ain't that somethin', ain't that somethin', ain't that somethin'?) Ooh baby, ooh baby, proceed with caution Move baby, move baby, we're in the darkness Ooh baby, ooh baby, why I'm so heartless? Dearly departed, dearly departed Ooh baby, ooh baby, proceed with caution Move baby, move baby, we're in the darkness Ooh baby, ooh baby, why I'm so heartless? Dearly departed, dearly departed Ooh baby, ooh baby Ooh baby, ooh baby Ooh baby, ooh baby Dearly departed, dearly departed

When I woke up it seems Like my world was caving in I won't break down this time I'll be fine With dull dimensions speaking of the truth And howls of chaos the bleeding of the moon Rounding up this time I'll be fine Let your love caress me Like the tide embraces the sea Let our soul connection Bring me alive today Am I lost and can be found Heaven's locked, hell not a sound All my angels left and gone It rains down Turn the key enough for rescue And burn the light The light that burns through But here it comes again It rains down It rains down It rains down We'll live your life a little Breathe in and out a little Say a prayer for you Let your love caress me Like the tide embraces the sea Let our soul connection Bring me alive today Today Today Bring me alive

Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Well, you and I both know that the house is haunted And you and I both know that the ghost is me You used to catch me in your bedsheets just a-rattling your chains Well, back then baby, it didn't seem so strange You used to bite, I used to moan Now I'm mumbling and you choke Well, I ain't so scary on my own Tell me honey, what's a dagger without a cloak?

It's the third of October You should come over Best laid plans are not sober And maybe not the way we thought we planned But both of us will take this hand For a couple of days then we'll disappear We don't have to talk of where we go from here Oh, my dearly departed My dearly departed One final shoulder Here before we're none And then there were none This last call could be all we can do for each other Embrace for a dear old friend Bring wine to bed We'll toast what could have been My dearly departed To my dearly departed I don't know how to mend it When this chapter ended When all of my plans have depended on you But at least tonight we'll still pretend Hold each other close like its not the end And you can send me balloons And we can laugh at the doom We both thought of that Doesn't it say something too Oh my dearly departed My dearly departed One final shoulder Here before were none Until all are none This last call could be all we can do for each other Embrace for a dear old friend Bring wine to bed We'll toast what could have been My dearly departed To my dearly departed Every masterpiece I'd write again You'll always be my porcelain I crossed my heart but I stuttered too So truth or dare, was I good to you? And I had enough of you all to myself Still right beside you in sickness and health Forever after you will be my home And there's no place like home We never sent the cards, they're all still on the table Wanna throw them out but I'm just not able My dearly departed My dearly departed (Toast what could) What could have been (Toast what could) What could have been Dear old friend (Toast what could) What could have been Dear old friend Toast what could What could have been My dearly departed (Dear old friend) (Toast what could) (What could have been) My dearly departed (Dear old friend) (Toast what could) (What could have been) My dearly departed (Dear old friend) (Toast what could) (What could have been) Dear old friend

This feeling never leaves you alone You pull the trigger on your own You're hiding in your safe place, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Now will you ever rest your head? You end up feeling mostly dead Pretending you're the last one, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars It never used to hurt before It isn't funny anymore Feeling so alone now, funny how you wish some way that you could die at the hospital You're quiet on the car ride home You're waiting for your head to explode You're hiding in your safe place, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars (Before I close) before I close my eyes, I'm gonna give it up (Take off my mask) take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars Will you look them in the face? Could you look me in the face? Three cheers, you fooled them all (come on, hip hip hooray!) Three cheers, you fooled them all (come on, hip hip hooray) Hip hip hooray! Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars (Before I close) before I close my eyes, I'm gonna give it up (Take off my mask) take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey! (Leave the lies to the liars) (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey! (Leave the lies to the liars) (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey!
