THE DAY I DIE lyrics

[Verse 1]
Haven't seen the light of day since God knows when
Couldn't force a smile even if I tried
My heart is empty and my bones won't mend
Feels like the river's running dry

[Chorus]
And I—
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
Where I escape the darkness in my own mind
It's like a mental funeral, something beautiful
I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don't wanna wake up

[Verse 2]
Melancholy creeps in like a thief in the night
Resentment tries to have its day
I know I'm just another dog in their fight
Feeding on the scraps of my mistakes, yeah

[Chorus]
And I—
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
Where I escape the darkness in my own mind
It's like a mental funeral, something beautiful
I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don't wanna wake up (Wake up)
[Post-Chorus]
And I don't wanna wake up, yeah
And I don't wanna wake up

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh, yeah
I keep on dreaming (Dreaming, dreaming, ooh)
I keep on dreaming (Keep on dreaming, ooh)
I keep on dreaming
I keep on dreaming, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Yeah, and I—
I keep on dreaming of the day I die (Keep on dreaming)
Where I escape the darkness of my own mind (Keeping on dreaming)
It's like a mental funeral, something beautiful
I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of the day I die
And I don't wanna wake up (Wake up)

[Outro]
Yeah, I don't wanna wake up (Wake up)
Don't wanna wake up
