"**Everyone I Love Is Dead**" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their fifth album *World Coming Down*, released in 1999. This song has some influences of alternative rock. It is about dejective sadness about having all the loved ones die tragically. The song was inspired when several members of Pete's family die in a relatively short amount of time, including his father.

"Everyone I Love Is Dead" is one of two singles released from the album (along with "Everything Dies") and this song is included on the compilation albums *The Least Worst Of* and *The Best of Type O Negative*.

## Lyrics

Seems three years

Though maybe four

Someone drops dead

Whom I adore

You love someone

There will be grief

The kiss of death

Lips of a thief

Goddamnit

A dusty stack of photographs

Of times I cried but mostly laughed

Commit the past into blue flame

Acrid smoke cowardly shame

Goddamnit

At times I'm truly terrified

Cause dope and booze don't help to hide

They're used to mask a weakling's hurt

It's just like painting over dirt

Everyone I love is dead

Everyone I love is dead

(All dead)

Life's a game I cannot win

Both good and bad must surely end

The mirrors always tell the truth

I love myself for hating you

Everyone I love is dead

Everyone I love is dead

Everyone I love is dead

Everyone I love is dead

Goddamnit

Goddamnit

All dead

All dead

All dead, all dead, all dead, all dead, all dead, all dead, all dead, all dead, all dead

Goddamnit
