Title: Already Dead
By: [Jean Brown]
[Intro]
Yeah…
Can’t kill what’s already gone
Let me talk to you…
[Verse 1]
I walk through the night with a shadow for a soul
Heart cold, mind broke, but I’m still in control
See the pain in my eyes, got a story untold
Every scar on my skin worth more than gold
I been down, I been lost, I been fed to the wolves
Told myself I’m a king, now I'm breakin' the rules
Ain’t no fear in a ghost, I done danced with death
He said, “You already dead, just catch your breath”
[Hook]
I’m already dead, what more can they do?
Buried my heart but I still push through
I live in the dark, I bathe in the rain
Pain in my veins, but I feel no shame
I’m already dead, I don’t fear the fall
Been through the worst, I done seen it all
So when they try to break me, I just laugh instead
You can’t kill a soul that’s already dead
[Verse 2]
No love in the mirror, just a stranger's face
Try to find light, but it's lost in space
Demons in my bed, whisper in my ear
Telling me the end’s been getting near
But I don’t run, nah, I light that flame
Every loss that I took made me numb to pain
I wear my chains like they part of my fit
Made peace with the dark, now I never quit
[Bridge]
Cold nights, long fights, voices in my head
Told myself, “Boy, you better rise from the dead”
They want war? Let 'em bring that smoke
I’m a nightmare walking, no time for hope
[Hook Repeat]
I’m already dead, what more can they do?
Buried my heart but I still push through
I live in the dark, I bathe in the rain
Pain in my veins, but I feel no shame
I’m already dead, I don’t fear the fall
Been through the worst, I done seen it all
So when they try to break me, I just laugh instead
You can’t kill a soul that’s already dead
[Outro]
So if you see me in the grave, know I chose that bed
A legend in the dirt, I was born already dead…
Yeah…
