lyrics

I am done / It's over / I can't undo what I've done
I'm cut too deep to get out alive / My heart's too weak / I won't survive

I'm fading fast

Chorus:
I'm just a dead man walking / A corpse talking
Trying (but dying) / Failing everyday
Full of nothing / Gasping for truth
This road to nowhere is headed to you

I'm just a shadow / A shade of what was
I'm so cold / My time is almost up
Everything gets still / The bleeding won't stop
I feel the chill / I hear the knock

I'm fading fast

Chorus

It's the only way to be with you / It's the only way I'll ever get to you
I'll keep on going / Leave everything behind just to be with you

Chorus / Chorus

I'm just a dead man walking
