Dead No Longer

I was a boy with visions of a bright future A little freak A little chic But the future wasn't ready for me Became a toy for silly men to walk over Bad kid Placid Always doing what I was told My whole life I was begging for permission Only to find I didn't need it from anyone And inside I found a songbird I came alive I'm dead no longer Felt I was on my last breath Seconds from sudden death So meek Tragique But something new was born inside me My whole life I was begging for permission Only to find I didn't need it from anyone And inside I found a songbird I came alive I'm dead no longer I finally feel alive I finally feel alive I finally feel alive My whole life I was begging for permission Only to find I didn't need it from anyone And inside I found a songbird I came alive I'm dead no longer
