Leave My Casket Open… Songtext
von Arrested Youth

It all started with a joke, it′s like that
He didn't have the words to fight back
So the rumors spread down the halls
Off the walls, into his head

It was Monday morning, he stayed in bed
Waiting ′til his parents left
He walked alone out to the shed
No one heard him when he left

When I pass leave my casket open
And send it out to the ocean
I wanna feel alive with the motion
I just wanna feel alive with the motion

When I pass leave my casket open
And send it out to the ocean
I wanna feel alive with the motion
I just wanna feel alive with the motion


Your words cut deep like a papercut
From a razor blade, I tried to tape it up
But the tape broke, so the blood flowed
And I couldn't stop the bleeding from the cut throat

Oh, say do you see that the words we say can
Save a life or take a life?
I don't wanna be another sacrifice
Think twice, you might

All of the things we said to you
Who knew we′d be the death of you?
I wish I was a friend to you (we′re sorry)
All of the things we said to you
Who knew we'd be the death of you?
I wish I was a friend to you (we′re sorry)

When I pass leave my casket open
And send it out to the ocean
I wanna feel alive with the motion
I just wanna feel alive with the motion (we're sorry)

When I pass leave my casket open (we didn′t mean to)
And send it out to the ocean (make you feel lonely)
I wanna feel alive with the motion (we really miss you)
I just wanna feel alive with the motion (I know that it's not fair)


When I pass leave my casket open (it′s you who's not here)
And send it out to the ocean (it feels like a nightmare)
I wanna feel alive with the motion (we really miss you)
I just wanna feel alive with the motion (we really miss you)
