Every time I step outside a chill runs down my spine
Faces in the shadows memories entwined
Phones ring with bad news I'm afraid to answer the call
Another name to etch on the list another friend to fall
All my friends are dead
Their stories haunt my head
Opiates and suicide
Tragedies I can't hide
Walking down the street I see ghosts at every turn
Reminders of the lives we lived now reduced to urns
The number keeps on growing it's like a cruel joke
So many gone so many tears the echoes make me choke
All my friends are dead
Their stories haunt my head
Opiates and suicide
Tragedies I can't hide
Can't keep doing this can't take the pain
Seeing faces in the rain
Every corner every street
Their shadows and their silent feet
I can't escape this nightmare trapped inside my mind
Every time I hear a voice it chills me to the spine
Did you hear about so-and-so Another tale of woe
Can't bear to lose another one but the numbers only grow
All my friends are dead
Their stories haunt my head
Opiates and suicide
Tragedies I can't hide
So I stay inside my room in a fortress made of fear
Praying that the silence means I won't lose another peer
But even in this solitude their whispers find a way
Reminding me of all the friends I lost along the way
All my friends are dead
Their stories haunt my head
Opiates and suicide
Tragedies I can't hide
All my friends are dead
Their stories haunt my head
In this world of pain and dread
I live with the echoes of the dead
