You know I'm a dead man walking
Mama had a baby broke in two
So I wake up every morning
Tie my shoes and tighten up my noose
They love a pretty mind but hate the ugly parts
I've been running from the same thing I'm running towards
They say before it fall in place you gotta fall apart
Now I can't draw a perfect circle but I live in one
Clip my wings so far from grace
Can't hit the ground I'm falling up
Let me fade I'll drift away
I'm just a candle in the sun
You know I'm a dead man walking
Mama had a baby broke in two
So I wake up every morning
Tie my shoes and tighten up my noose
Daddy take his drugs, got blackened lungs
I prayed to a god that don't exist
I was in the bathroom eating lunch
So the kids at school won't kick my ass
Mama ain't left her room in days
I'm afraid that she might slit her wrists
So I grew up got high, got drunk
Dropped out now everyone is dead
I've been waiting on a sign from something greater
All my life with a plastic smile
Wonder when my head fell off my neck and shoulders
Don't know what to do or where to go now
I probably died before I wrote this song
From an overdose in my childhood room
Reality seems so broken when dreams aren't real
But nightmares still come true
You know I'm a dead man walking
Mama had a baby broke in two
So I wake up every morning
Tie my shoes and tighten up my noose
You know I'm a dead man walking
Mama had a baby broke in two
So I wake up every morning
Tie my shoes and tighten up my noose
You know I'm a dead man walking
Mama had a baby broke in two
So I wake up every morning
Tie my shoes and tighten up my noose
