Dead Man Breathing

[Verse 1]

I've grown colder

Than any other stone turned

Than any road crossed on my way

I've grown colder

Than earth underfoot

Than wind at my back

Now scabbed and cracked

I've grown colder

Just like your father

And his father before

Through the endless storm

I've grown colder

Than I ever was, beyond my beliefs

Will this ever cease?

[Chorus 1]

It's begun

Choose your hell

You are no exception

I don't want to be another dead man breathing

[Chorus 2]

Cold

I've grown colder than I ever was before

Cold

Now all I see are dead men breathing

[Chorus 3]

For those who once rejoiced

I've grown cold

For those who feared and hated

I've grown cold

Who can't escape their grief

I've grown cold

Don't want to be another dead man breathing

[Verse 2]

I've grown colder

Than the mercy of who's looking down

Upon the silent graves

Of those who paid with sins

I've grown colder

Than all those who wasted trust

Opening the gate

Without acknowledging the cost

[Chorus 4]

It's begun

Choose your hell

You are no exception

Hands cannot drown the sounds of better men screaming

It's begun

Live to tell

Don't deny the instinct

I don't want to be another dead man breathing

[Bridge]

It's begun

Choose your hell

You are no exception

Hands cannot drown the sounds of better men screaming

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't want to be another dead man breathing

I'll curse and fight till my heart stops beating

Until my heart stops beating

[Chorus 4]

It's begun

Choose your hell

You are no exception

Hands cannot drown the sounds of better men screaming

It's begun

Live to tell

Don't deny the instinct

I don't want to be another dead man breathing
