"Rather Be Dead" lyrics - ESCAPE THE FATE

Won't let you speak in tongues
What's done is done, is done
I'll stop at nothing just to let my skeletons sleep in silence

[Pre-Chorus:]
'Cause the enemy of love's a friend of mine
And the way that I hate you is do or die
Got me thinking it might end in suicide
Tell me not to pull the trigger, but why wouldn't I?

[Chorus:]
You wanna dig up the past, I'd rather be dead
I'm sick of living it over and over again
My scars are none of your business
You wanna dig up the past, I'd rather be dead

Don't push me, I'm done with talking
Left me with no other option
You put the nail in the coffin
Why won't you just let it die?

[Pre-Chorus:]
'Cause the enemy of love's a friend of mine
And the way that I hate you is do or die
Got me thinking it might end in suicide
Tell me not to pull the trigger, but why wouldn't I?

[Chorus:]
You wanna dig up the past, I'd rather be dead
I'm sick of living it over and over again
My scars are none of your business
You wanna dig up the past, I'd rather be dead

Carve this on my tombstone
The past is haunting me

[Breakdown:]
So grab a shovel baby
It's time to dig a hole to throw my body in
To lay with my regrets and ghosts
Suffocating, asphyxiating
The past is haunting me
Carve this on my tombstone
"Here's the man who never rests in peace"

[Chorus:]
You wanna dig up the past, I'd rather be dead
I'm sick of living it over and over again
My scars are none of your business
You wanna dig up the past, I'd rather be dead

[Outro:]
Tell me not to pull the trigger, but why wouldn't I?
