lyrics

Last day of highschool, a thousand free fools
All roads are open. Time to make their own rules
After years of struggle, memories & regrets
You're at the edge of the cliff with no safety nets

Johnny's dead, they found him in bed
A note on the dresser, a hole in his head
Oh Johnny, what'd you dream, you were the king of the scene
Was the crown too heavy, was the scenery too green?

Oh Johnny, Johnny, what did you see?
Oh Johnny, Johnny, what'd you want to be when you grew?
Now you're through. Feast of maggots, closed casket
It's on you.

Annie was found hung. Back room of a slum
Burnt out & harassed – payback for the scum
She's had enough, saw no hope. You know she couldn't cope
She took her last stand at the end of a rope

Oh Annie, Annie, what did you see?
Oh Annie, Annie, what'd you want to be when you grew?
Now you're through. Feast of crows, closed casket
It's on you.

(Instrumental break)

Death is silent. Death is sweet
Death is freedom. Death is bleak
Life is luscious. Life is meek
Life is boredom. Life is chic
Death is silent. Death is weak
Death is freedom. Death is Sleep
Life is luscious. Life is steep
Life is boredom at its peak

Ricky od'd, known as a bad seed
Reputation to maintain – a chaotic creed
And the wolf needs to feed, on a destructive binge
A disruptive stench, hot bath & syringe

Ricky, Ricky. What did you see?
Oh Ricky, Ricky. What'd you want to be?
When you grew. Now you're through
Feast for rodents, closed casket. It's on you
