Dashboard Confessional Knock `em Dead Lyrics

Knock `em Dead Lyrics

This basket arrives

To show your condolence 

You hope that it finds me well 

And just in time 

This loss was unbearable 

But now I have flowers 

A thoughtful, blooming bright arrangement 

I can out live too



Dress the corpse in his best 

We only have one shot 

To knock 'em dead 

A toast to the way he left us 

Counting our blessings 

Holding our heads 



We better speak up 

We better say something 

We better believe ourselves for once 

'Cause he never said help 

He never said anything 

In the way that we dreamed ourselves to appear 

It's only in this silence 

That I can hear him screaming 

On and on alone 



Dress the corpse in his best 

We only have one shot 

To knock 'em dead 

And toast to the way he left us 

Counting our blessings 

Holding our heads 



Dress the corpse in his best 

We only have one shot 

To knock 'em dead 



And I would've thought 

That I have more to lose than him 

My skin is stark stark white 

And ash covers my skin 

I should've worn make-up 

It seems to have worked for him.
