Lyrics for Cemetery as interpreted by DarthFly0

Cemetery Lyrics
There's a cemetery deep below the sea
There is spaces reserved for fools like me
Tried to kill myself at least a dozen times
But nothing seemed to turn out right

Now I'd rather wait a half a century
Soiling the bed belligerently
Even when I go blind and lose my mind
Nothing seems to turn out right
Something's gotta turn out right

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

If you want, then when we die
We'll ascend to some place way up high
The gate will show you through
If they ask me, I'm with you

There's no one who imagines like you
You're convinced there's somewhere that we go to
Not a first class trip to the abyss
But tell me do you still feel this
Tell me do you still feel this

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

If you want, then when we die
We'll ascend to some place way up high
The gate will show you through
If they ask me, I'm with you

If I'm in that lake of fire
I will call your name as I expire
The last thing that I'll do
Is I'll tell them I'm with you

Last cigarette, last Percocet
Now the noose will turn into a tourniquet
It's the death of me, it's the end of me
I won't let the poison take control of me

Last cigarette, last Percocet
Now the noose will turn into a tourniquet
It's the death of me, it's the end of me
Watch the kingdom burning down in front of me

If you want, then when we die
We'll ascend to some place way up high
The gate will show you through
If they ask me, I'm with you

And I'll face the one who made
My disgusting heart from a lump of clay
When he asks what got me through
When he asks me, it was you

New song! I'm pretty sure these lyrics are right, if you think that something needs to be changed just tell me.

This song is SO good, and that last verse is just absolutely perfect. I swear, Max never ceases to amaze me.

Pretty obvious meaning, I think; about somebody who's restored his hope, specifically in life and the afterlife. He loves her for her faith and belief in everything, and although he feels that he's a bad person and has wanted to die on several occasions, he gets through all of it because of her. Or at least, that's the way I took it.

So perfect, though. :]

Well, of course, we are all going to have our own opinions and I like/agree with what you all have posted so far! I love this song and Say Anything. I hadn't heard anything about this song being written about his fiance, but if that's true then it definitely fits, but I get mixed opinions from the lyrics. I feel its about both his fiance and about God. Like AllChokedup said, " It's about somebody who's restored his hope, specifically in life and the afterlife" His wife obviously has strong faith, "There's no one who imagines like you, You're convinced there's somewhere that we go to" is Heaven. The first class ticket to the abyss is where he's headed if he kills himself, but God won't let him.."Nothing seems to turn out right" during his failed attempts. God has other plans for him. He isn't sure still if he is going to heaven for both trying to kill himself (or whoever the person is, hopefully is figuratively speaking. Idk if you know anything, but was Max ever suicidal?? I didn't think so anyway..) and for the way he lives with little faith, that's why he will tell God he is with his wife (you), who HAS stuck with him through his hard times and he really is a great person at heart. Visa versa, if he goes to hell "in that lake of fire" he won't tell them he is with her because then i guess she would have to come to hell too for loving him, who, had little faith?? I guess im not sure, but that would be the reason why the last thing he'll do is say he's with "you". For whatever reason though, "you" is the person who is helping him all throughout his life on Earth, but also has a distant relation with God. Weather he has restored his faith or not by the end I'm not sure, and obviously he's not either. But then again no one knows for sure who's gettin' in or not, just gotta have faith!!

Could I possibly write more?? haha, I left out what I think is my favorite part. If you all watched the version that is on YouTube, he puts a lot of stress/enfasis/emotion of pain into the lines, "But tell me do you still feel this, Tell me do you still feel this." Love it.

Correct lyrics...? Yes yes.


There's a cemetery deep below the sea
There is spaces reserved for fools like me
Tried to kill myself at least a dozen times
But nothing seemed to turn out right

Now I'd rather wait a half a century
Soiling the bed belligerent and wrinkly
Even when I go blind and lose my mind
Nothing seems to turn out right
Something's got to turn out right

If you want, then when we die
We'll ascend to some place way up high
The gate will show you through
If they ask me, I'm with you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

There's no one who imagines like you
So convinced there's somewhere that we go to
Not a first class trip to the abyss
Tell me too you still feel this
Tell me too you still feel this

As I drown in lakes of fire,
I will call your name as I expire
It's the last thing that I'll do
I will tell them I'm with you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

Falling asleep, asleep at the wheel
As I approach that cliff
I'm starting to feel
If you can wake me up, with only a touch
If I can die with you, life would be enough

And I'll face the one you made
My disgusting heart from a lump of clay
Should he ask what got me through?
If he asks me, it was you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

Typed these up without looking here first. The commenter torymcdougall got a lot of it right, though we have a few differences. These are the lyrics to the studio version released for streaming today on their myspace page.

It kills me that they cut the "Last cigarette" part out of the album version.

if you go to alternative press's website, max explains what all the songs mean
and he says this one basically means that sinces hes fallen in love, hes no longer afraid to die because he know his soul will live on loving her (im guessing sherri =P)

i lovelove this song, it reminds me of ..is a real boy.
i especially love the line
"Should he ask what got me through. If he asks me, it was you."

kudos to max (:

This song is about max bemis's wife sherry dupree of eisley. It explains how Max used to be jewish while sherry is christian, and max converted to christianity so that he could follow his wife into the afterlife when they die, to be together forever.
