Dark is the day where his thoughts betray
Weighing on his mind
And it steals his soul
To place his trust with memory's love
Waiting to align
Who will heal his soul?
Wait and see for a grand return
He remains alone
Drifting away in the twilight sky
The novelty will fade away

I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about

He can't feel for his heart is yearning
All is lost today
You can hear him cry
Sorrowed sighs through the rolling darkness
Waiting for the time
To believe in her
Dreamer's day when he longs to say
And take it all
Sitiing alone in his prisoned mind
The jaded takes its toll again

I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about

Blood on the lips of his mother
She warned him that this day would come
Feeling he doesn't know what to trust
Sin for his heart is the color red

Time for the fainter
Just to hear pathetic cadence of cries
Pray to your saviour
And you'll fear the crippled godsend of lies

Why can't you save me
Can you feel it in my soul?
Why can't you save me
Can you see it in my soul?

I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about

To be dead just for one day
