Lyrics

[Intro]

Static in my veins, lights flicker red

Talking to ghosts inside my head

Say my name like it still means something

But I’ve been dead since you said nothing

[Verse 1]

Walking through fire in borrowed skin

Smile stitched tight, rot underneath

You fed me lies like holy wine

Said I was yours, but I was mine

Knuckles white, I bit my tongue

Learned real fast how to come undone

Every promise tasted fake

Every truth was mine to break

[Pre-Chorus]

You swear you know what I’ve become

But you never saw where I’m from

[Chorus]

I’m a dead head, breathing but numb

Heart still beats but the feeling’s gone

Say my name like you still care

I’m already fucking nowhere

Dead eyes, no regret

I don’t feel what you expect

Cut me loose, I’m better off

Yeah, I’m a dead head—so what?

[Verse 2]

I danced with fear in a loaded room

Watched love die way too soon

You called it fate, I called it control

Tried to own pieces of my soul

Blood-red signs I chose to ignore

Kept my faith on a breaking floor

Now I see you clear as glass

Just another ghost I passed

[Pre-Chorus]

You talk like I still owe you pain

But I don’t bleed the same

[Chorus]

I’m a dead head, breathing but numb

Heart still beats but the feeling’s gone

Say my name like you still care

I’m already fucking nowhere

Dead eyes, no regret

I don’t feel what you expect

Cut me loose, I’m better off

Yeah, I’m a dead head—so what?

[Bridge – quiet, haunting]

If this is empty

Then let it be

I’d rather feel nothing

Than bleed for free

You can keep your fucking truth

I don’t need it to be me

[Breakdown – heavy, slow]

No pulse

No fear

No shame

I survived

What broke me

You talk

I stare

Right through

I’m not lost

I’m just through

[Guitar Solo]

(guitar solo – dark, emotional, bending into chaos)

[Final Chorus]

I’m a dead head, still standing tall

I didn’t lose shit—I cut it off

You want scars, you want regret

But I’m not done living yet

Dead calm, razor breath

I don’t flinch at what’s left

Say it once, get it said

I’m alive—but not for them

[Outro]

Dead head

Clear mind

No chains

This time
