Lyrics
Dead Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sailing on my every step
Inching off of the earth...
He's magnified
By the things I've done
The thing that I've become
Every lift of my hand,
Coffee cup up and back,
Is magnified
By the things I've done
The things I've seen, the things I've caused,
I'm a dead man walking.
The hammer that I once brought down now hovers over me.
Casts a shadow, a cross/across onto me.
The hallways are all mocking me.
What I've become they're all mocking me.
I'm a dead man walking. A dead man walking. A dead man walking.
I'm a dead man walking. Dead man walking. Dead man walking.
