Lyrics

They see me comin' in the room, go still
Not from respect, from the chill
Cause you can't threaten what already died I got nothin' left to lose inside
I been past the point of fear since I can't remember when
Every time they tried to break me, I'm just broke and built again
See a man who's lost it all and chose to rise up from the wreck
Is the most dangerous thing walkin, got nothin' left to protect
I move through every room like the reaper's got my back
Cold eyes on the target and I never leave a slack
They try warnings, try to rattle me with everything they have
Sent their best to shake my foundation, only made me more glad
Cause I already walked through the fire and I didn't burn
Already hit the bottom, hard enough to learn
Every scar a lesson, every loss a steppin' stone
The dead man doesn't fear the dark, he's comfortable alone
You wanna threaten me, go ahead
I've been livin' on the other side of dread
You can't shake what's already been through hell
Why I came back with a story I was born to tell
No fear in these eyes
No chains on these hands
No grave deep enough
I'm still here, I stand
Go ahead and bring your worst, I already took the hit
Go ahead and push me to the edge, I will not quit
Every man who tried to stop me only made me more legit
Dead man walkin' and I'm nowhere done yet
Watch the way I navigate the darkness with precision
Every obstacle another moment for a split decision
And I always choose to swing and never choose to step aside
I'm a stone they never saw because they looked too far and wide
Underestimated, overlooked and left for dead
Came back with a vengeance and a target on my head
Not a victim, not a martyr, I'm a force that won't comply
Every time they count me out's another reason not to die
You can feel it when I enter like a pressure in the air
Something primal in the back of every neck begins to stare
Not because I'm loud about it, no I move without a sound
Dead man walkin' through your city, never makin' himself found
Till it's time
Till the moment hits, then I climb
Straight through everything you built in my way
Left nothin' standin' at the end of the day
No fear in these eyes
No chains on these hands
No grave deep enough
I'm still here, I stand
Go ahead and bring your worst, I already took the hit
Go ahead and push me to the edge, I will not quit
Every man who tried to stop me, only made me more legit
Dead man walkin' and I'm nowhere done yet
I'm the thing that wouldn't stay down when they buried it
The nightmare that kept comin' back, they couldn't carry it
Every loss a lesson, every wound a warrior's badge
Every empty-handed moment was the hunger that I had
I don't need your validation and I don't need your fear
I just need the open road and everything that's clear
In front of me and anything that's standin' in my path
Is about to understand the dead man's wrath
Go ahead and bring your worst, I already took the hit
Go ahead and push me to the edge, I will not quit
Every man who tried to stop me, only made me more legit
Dead man walkin' and I'm nowhere done yet
Dead man walkin
Still walking
Try and stop me
