Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Did a
Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket
Large procession
And was everybody dancing on the casket?
Dance?
Now it's over
Now 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Did a
Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket
Large procession
And was everybody dancing on the casket?
Dance?
Now it's over
Now 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
[Bridge]
So
So I won't
Sit
Sit at home
And
Anymore
And
And you won't
And
See my head in
And
The window
And
And I won't
And
Be around
And, and
Ever anymore
And I'll be up there on the wall at the store
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Did a
Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket
Large procession
And was everybody dancing on the casket?
Dance?
Now it's over
Now 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
[Outro]
Now it's over
Now 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
