[Verse 1]
Call it an embracement
Disguised as a hook to the chin
Ask me what the catch is
It'll be a smile you're raising
Have you ever watched all your fears
Dropping off to sleep when
A moment of sadness
Reveals its wisdom?
I don't wanna be impatient
But how many doors will open up
After all the chapters we've been closing?
God, I still have so many questions

[Chorus]
I'd be dead by now
But I wanna find out
What only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only, only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only, only the dead know
[Verse 2]
So how do we move on then?
Here's what helped:
Apparently the nothing
Is from what peace feeds itself

[Pre-Chorus]
Had I only known then we would have
Spread all the bad things on the floor
And played with 'em like children
Oh, I'd be dead by now
But I wanna find out
What only the dead know

[Chorus]
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only, only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only, only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only, only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
Only the dead know
(What only the dead know)
