Lyrics

Dead Man

[Verse 1] Sailin' on my every step Inching off of the earth [Pre-Chorus 1] Is magnified by the things I've done The thing that I've become [Verse 2] Every lift of my hand Coffee cup up and back [Pre-Chorus 2] Is magnified by the things I've done The things I've seen, the things I've caused [Chorus] I'm a dead man walkin' [Bridge] The hammer that I once brought down now hovers over me Cast a shadow across onto me [Pre-Chorus 3] The hallways are all mockin' me What I've become, they're all mockin' me [Chorus] I'm a dead man walkin', a dead man walkin' A dead man walkin' I'm a dead man walkin', dead man walkin' Dead man walkin'
