Already Dead

I dug my grave with my own hands Now I sleep where the guilt stands

Another lie, another crack I built my hell, now I can't go back

I used to scream, now I just choke Silent fights with the ghosts I woke

The dirt's so cold, but it feels like home Cause the world outside left me alone

I swear I tried, I swear I bled But the voices in my walls, they scream instead

You're already dead

I'm six feet lighter, but twice as heavy The weight of the world in an empty cavity

I carved my name in a dead end street Now I'm just echoes and incomplete

Six feet lighter, but I'm still falling Six feet deeper, but I'm still crawling

I stole my soul for a second chance Now I'm just a ghost in a backwoods dance

Check the pulse, nothing but static Check the soul, nothing but habits

I'm a flicker in a dead TV A shadow of what I swore I'd be

I built the coffin, I set the flame Now I'm just ash with a face and a name

Regret's a noose, but I tied it tight So tell me, why am I still alive

I swear I tried, I swear I bled But the voices in my walls, they scream instead

You're already dead

I'm six feet lighter, but twice as heavy A hollow king on a broken levee

I stole my heart for a taste of light Now I'm just dust in a dead end sky
