dead man breathing

i've grown colder

than any other stone turned

than any road crossed

on my way

i've grown colder

than earth under foot

than wind at my back

now scabbed & 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?

it's begun

choose your hell

you are no exception

i don't want to be another dead man breathing

cold

i've grown colder than i ever was before

cold

now

all i see are dead men breathing

for those who once rejoiced

i've grown cold

for those who feared & hated

i've grown cold

who can't escape their grief

i've grown cold

don't want to be another dead man breathing

i've grown colder

than the mercy of whose looking down

upon the silent graves of all who once paid with sins

i've grown colder

than all those who wasted trust

opening the gates without acknowledging the cost

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

it's begun

choose your hell

you are no exception

hands cannot drown the sounds of better men screaming

don't want to be another dead man breathing

i'll curse & fight till my heart stops beating

until my heart stops beating

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
