[Spoken Word]
December 25th, 1986 - Van Nuys
Merry Christmas
Well that's what people say at Christmas, right?
Except for normally they have someone to say it to
They have friends and family
And they haven't been crouched naked under a Christmas tree
With a needle in their arm like an insane person in a mansion in Van Nuys
They're not out of their minds, they're not writing in a diary
And they're definitely not watching their holiday spirit coagulate in a spoon
I didn't speak to a single person today
I thought, why should I ruin their fucking Christmas
I've started a nеw diary and this time I have a few nеw reasons
One, I have no friends left
Two, so I can read back and remember what I did the day before
And three, so if I die, at least I leave a nice little suicide note of my life
It's just me and you, diary. Welcome to my fucking life
Nobody would believe the shit that happens inside my head, it's haunted
Now that I've come down from the drugs
It seems like a sick play that I saw in a theater somewhere
Thirty minutes ago, I could've killed somebody
Or better yet, myself
[Verse 1]
You can't quit until you try
You can't live until you die
You can't learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie
You can't breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you're the joke
There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive
[Chorus]
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
[Verse 2]
I know some things that you don't
I’ve done things that you won't
There's nothin' like a trail of blood
To find your way back home
I was waitin' for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive
[Chorus]
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Alive
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
[Chorus]
Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?
