Song lyrics
Dead as dead can be, my doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him, ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, You disappoint me,
Maybe you're better off this way

Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become, my perfect enemy,

Wake up and face me, don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, You disappoint me,
Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
You're better of this, you're better off this,
Maybe you're better off!

Wake up and face me, don't play dead, 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, You fucking disappoint me!
Maybe you're better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me!

This song is amazing. The lyrics are intense, and I love the build up during the song. As soon as I first heard it, I knew I loved it!

Last ring of APC's Tool-alike songs. Who's to complain?

I loved this song even more when they played it in the bar scene in the movie Constantine.

I remember listening to this when I was really pissed off with some one close to me. Its a great way to vent off anger. Love the line, in which he whispers, maybe you're better off this way...

Of course this is the best song on the album because every other one sucks except for Imagine.

Yeah i think he's used vocal effects - to enhance the overal sound not his performance.
Talentless dime a dozen pop singers who'll disapear into the ether only to be replaced with some new pretty faced dimwitt often use vocal shifters to make it sound like they can sing, or to cover over where they've gone beyond their vocal limitations (or simply off key). But thats not the case here, maynard can most definatly sing and has just changed the recording to better suit what he wanted for the song. Which is what that sort of equipment should be used for - not to make talentless pretty girls "sing" and sell albums purely on sex appeal.

Easily the best track on the CD, with Imagine coming in a close second.
