All Ur Friends R Zombies
?niap ni yrc ot ydaer uoy era ,esol ot ydaer uoy erA
niarb ruoy otni bmilc ,langis a si sihT
all your friends are zombies
and you're the scream, not screaming yet
you're a masquerading skeleton
with a brain they'll never get
all your friends are zombies
rising up out of the grave
they're laughing all their bloody heads off
at the lost look on your face
look, look at his mouth like it's too much
see hallucinations you can finally touch
rip off your skin and let the scab settle in
like your neighbor who hasn't left her house in
weeks, weeks have gone, you feel it
messages from a different realm, you feel it's
so hard to let the moaning out
you're so used to a different route
you'd write your reasons, but no one could read it
they'd call you a fool, watch your head, kid, you're bleeding
you wear a mask, and it keeps you living
but it stayed too long, 'cause now you're hidden
all your friends are zombies
and you're the scream, not screaming yet
you're a masquerading skeleton
with a brain they'll never get
all your friends are zombies
rising up out of the grave
they're laughing all their bloody heads off
at the lost look on your face
