I returned a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date.
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself.
Will a large procession wave their
Torches as my head falls in the basket,
And will everyone be dancing on the casket?
Then it's over, I'm dead, and I haven't
Done anything that I want
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

I will never say the word
"Procrastinate" again; I'll never
See myself in the mirror with my eyes closed.
I didn't apologize
for when I was eight and I made my younger
Brother have to be my personal slave.
Will a large procession wave their (will a)
Torches as my head falls in the basket, (large procession)
And will everyone be dancing on the casket? (dance?)
Then it's over, I'm dead, and I haven't (then it's)
Done anything that I want (over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

(So) So I won't
(Be) Be around
(And) Anymore
(And) And you won't
(And) See my head in
(And) The window
(And) And I won't
(And) Be around
(And) Ever anymore
(And) And I'll be up there on the wall at the store

I returned a bag of groceries
Accidentally taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date.

Then it's over, I'm dead, and I haven't (then it's)
Done anything that I want (over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do
Then it's over, I'm dead, and I haven't (then it's)
Done anything that I want (over)
