Dead Man Walking

Sorry to disappoint you

But you can’t even grasp what I’ve been through

In the end, you’ve engraved this in my head

You taught me to be dead

Do you even know what you said

Remember when I closed my eyes and took my last breath

By the grasp of your hand clinched tight around my neck

So you made me this will, you created this mistake

You tried to put me away with every blow I would take

But I grew up now and I’m sorry to say

I’m exactly like you

A fucking mistake

Sorry to humiliate you

But they have never felt dead like I do

Tore out my insides, left me to die

I crawled like a dog to save my own life

Sorry to disappoint you

But you can’t even grasp what I’ve been through

They are me alive they ate me alive

I curled up and died because they ate me alive

Where were you when I learned to take it like a man

Where were you when I learned to stand

Where were you when I learned to take it like a man

Dead man walking

Chipping at my soul and taking it in slow

He’s dead man walking

Circles in my head I swear

Now I can say that I know what it’s like to play dead

And I still see your twitching ghost

When I’m looking in the mirror

Do you see mine

We are one in the same, I swear

Now I can say that I know what it’s like to play

Dead man walking

Sorry to repulse you

But you have never fought like I do

Forgot how to cry, learned how lie

I put you away to the back of my mind

Sorry to disgust you

But you can’t even taste what I’ve been through

They are me alive they ate me alive

I curled up and died cause they ate me alive
