Lyrics

Have you heard the song is dead? The last note faded last september
In a show on MTV
The VJ said the final words, then waited 'til the lights came off and
Ran off on a shopping spree

Have you heard the heart is dead? It's last black beat just echoed deathrow
And it made us feel so safe
The victim's father made the news to make as statement for the familiy
He said it sure was worth the wait

Will anyone trade a heart of stone?
I once had a name, but now I'm gone

I won't be dismayed I didn't draw the line
I will speak right up, I'm doing time
For watching without words, for covering the hurt
And leave the heart behind, I'm doing time

Have you heard that faith is dead? It's last unspoken wish has crumbled
into dust beneath your feet
Unless I give it one more try, I'll slit my veins and bleed them dry
I still have promises to keep

Will anyone trade a heart of stone?
I once had a name, but now I'm gone

I won't be dismayed I didn't draw the line
I will speak right up, I'm doing time
For watching without words, for covering the hurt
And leave the heart behind, I'm doing time
