i have a message for you:

you're only as long as you're breathing,

and no one can stop the bleeding.

what else should i say?

i have a message for you:

you're already decomposing.

you're picture's slowly closing,

as memory slips away.

i have a message for you:

your girlfriend's tears are wasted.

she won't even know that you tasted

the salt she shed for you.

i have a message for you:

she won't even cry tomorrow,

and all that you are is sorrow,

so i'll cry for you, too.



take this down, pass it around, i don't want to let you go

until you all know:

nothing is gonna happen when they stick you in the ground.

nothing is gonna happen.

nothing.



i have a message for you:

i know what you're thinking,

all i need is faith, hope, and love.

i have a message for you:

i used to be just like you.

i used to be just like you.

i used to be just like you.



chorus



i have a message for you:

it doesn't matter what you do,

alive a while but dying soon.

i have a message for you,

and i'm not one to be untrue:

alive a while but dying soon.



i have a message for you:

i was the president.

yeah, i was the president of freshman class,

but the teachers all thought i was a pain in the ass.
