The Scariest Story Ever Told Album Booklet

"Stay Dead"

[Verse 1]

Who will join the circus?

I'm just the one you called a freak.

All the children were so mean.

I grew up with a heart of stone.

I grew up healing broken bones.

No broken home.

[Pre-Chorus]

Everyone who comes to my funeral, they only come to make sure that I'll stay dead.

Nobody who comes to my funeral will come to pay their respects.

[Verse 2]

I wish I had a coffin, a living vampire from hell.

Baby, you thought that I sparkled, but that was just my ashes.

I wish I had a coffin, a living vampire from hell.

Baby, you thought that I sparkled, but that was just my ashes.

[Pre-Chorus]

Everyone who comes to my funeral, they only come to make sure that I'll stay dead.

Nobody who comes to my funeral will come to pay their respects.

[Chorus]

You took my life from me.

I'm rejected from Heaven, but welcomed in Hell.

Welcome to Hell.

You took my life from me.

I'm rejected from Heaven, but welcomed in Hell.

Welcome to Hell.

[Verse 2]

I wish I had a coffin, a living vampire from hell.

Baby, you thought that I sparkled, but that was just my ashes.

I wish I had a coffin, a living vampire from hell.

Baby, you thought that I sparkled, but that was just my ashes.

[Pre-Chorus]

Everyone who comes to my funeral, they only come to make sure that I'll stay dead.

Nobody who comes to my funeral will come to pay their respects.

[Chorus]

You took my life from me.

I'm rejected from Heaven, but welcomed in Hell.

Welcome to Hell.

You took my life from me.

I'm rejected from Heaven, but welcomed in Hell.

Welcome to Hell.

You took my life from me.

I'm rejected from Heaven, but welcomed in Hell.

Welcome to Hell.

You took my life from me.

I'm rejected from Heaven, but welcomed in Hell.

Welcome to Hell.

"Stay Dead is about being hated and knowing that nobody truly cares about you. It doesn't matter what you do to try and fix things, you will always be hated."
