The Dead Don't Matter

(album: The Last Songs - 2006)

The dead don't matter, the living don't care
The future's on fire, the past is a nightmare
So I give you my voice in this "love you" song
I give you my heart, never do you no wrong

We all lie so well, never give it a thought
Night and day we're sold and bought
Lie with a kiss, kill vicariously
And through this we sing of peace and love
Heaven above
Talk is cheap it seems to me like

The dead don't matter, the living don't care
The future's on fire, the past is a nightmare
So I give you my voice in this "love you" song
I give you my heart, never do you no wrong

Outside we scream and yell in a childish rhyme
We can hardly spell "lifetime"
But I know what love is for
So I bring mine to your door
When the world blows cold I will hold you close

The struggle never ends, this is written in stone
The walking wounded, will they find a way home
Scars on the scars on their backs
Tears over tears over tears they don't lack
To answer that we sing of peace and love
Heaven above, family, community
Talk is cheap, it seems to me like

The dead don't matter, the living don't care
The future's on fire, the past is a nightmare
So I give you my voice in this "love you" song
I give you my heart, never do you no wrong

Never let me go, never let me go
When the world blows cold
I will hold you close
Never let me go, never let me go
