I try so hard to be an honest man
This anger and aggression wasn't part of the plan
So much hatred locked away in my heart
I'd give anything for a brand new start
But I'm so lost and lonely, and don't know where I've been
Is there any good left inside me? Rotting from these sins
Oh, dead man walking, my time is borrowed
Curse and rejoice the fact that I'll be here tomorrow
What a shame, this is our greatest day
All this time we've worked so hard
Just to fade away
So insane, my heart fills with dismay
I once heard in a punk song that nothing gold can stay
I'll never admit, but I've got such plaguing fears
If only you knew, you'd run far away from here
I'd love to listen, don't speak too much
Through the distortion, this mind is grossly out of touch
But I'm the strongest man I've ever been in my whole life
The zenith of existence until the next sunrise
Somewhere in the distance, there will come a time
I’ll fade into a drifting dream, never to open my eyes
What a shame, that on our greatest day
We'll exhale our final breath, wither and decay
Everything's changed, as kids we used to play
One last time I'll hold your hand, stagnant as the clay
A gentle soul, a wounded smile
Won't you sit down and stay a while?
I loved you so, wish you'd have known
The epitaph on the tombstone
It read, "beloved brother, inspired son"
A life extinguished before the course has been run
I've got these photographs to preserve your memory
And for a fleeting moment, I believe you're here with me
