I'm a dead man walking
dead man talking
dead man running to his grave.
I would have stayed if I wasn't so afraid
adding and subtracting
all the mistakes I have made.
I never could have stayed
it never would have worked out that way.
In the end was that last smile
and saying,
"I'll see you down the road after a while."
I'm a dead man walking
a dead man talking
a dead man running towards my grave.
My crimes
they have been small
mostly involving
self harm
The self-inflicted wounds
are stings that last the longest time.
I'm a dead man walking
a dead man laughing
a dead man running towards my grave.
I have always tried my best
to be as loving as I can
little acts of kindness
now and then
Even have submerged myself
in others
talking their pain
I'm a dead man walking
a dead man falling
a dead man running to my grave.
Many small crimes
many petty misdeameanors
never meant to hurt you
only wanted to touch you
but all these judgments
all this self-incrimination
can't be undone
Too many
justifications, rationalizations,
too many words to say
too much water? the bridge has washed away
I don't think I could ever explain
Even for a dead man running
let's just say
"one touch on the hand
and
I'll be on my way."
