I don’t need a prayer, I don’t need a name
I’m livin’ in the shadows where the dead all came
Cold hands in my pockets, got no soul to sell
Told the reaper, "Meet me where the moonlight fell"
I keep a half-smile with the graveyard crew
Countin' my steps as I walk through the tombs
Money in my pocket but my heart’s on pause
Cuttin’ through the city like I’m breakin’ laws
If you see me walk by, better cross the street
I been talkin’ to ghosts, they don’t miss a beat
I’m the one they fear, the one they avoid
Born to burn bridges that they can’t avoid
[Hook – catchy, rhythmic, moody]
I got a deadman’s grin and a killer’s style
I’m risin’ from the dirt with a wicked smile
Ain’t no heaven callin’, so I make my way
Walkin’ with the shadows in the light of day
I got a deadman’s grin and a killer’s style
Risin’ from the dirt with a wicked smile
Ain’t no heaven callin’, so I make my way
Walkin’ with the shadows, don’t care what they say
[Verse 2]
Creepin’ through the streets like the night won’t end
Got a pocket full of silence and a knife to lend
Ain’t afraid of the dark, nah, I’m made of it
Dancin’ with the shadows in a place I fit
Every step I take, they feel it in their spine
But I’m laughin’ at the mirror, ‘cause I’m doin' fine
I’ve seen the light flicker, but I’ll never fall
I play my own game, answer to no one at all
Don’t need no redemption, don’t need no peace
I’m a ghost in the system, can’t kill what’s deceased
Watch me slide through the cracks like a whispered lie
If you see me comin’, better say goodbye
[Hook – repeat with more intensity]
I got a deadman’s grin and a killer’s style
I’m risin’ from the dirt with a wicked smile
Ain’t no heaven callin’, so I make my way
Walkin’ with the shadows in the light of day
I got a deadman’s grin and a killer’s style
Risin’ from the dirt with a wicked smile
Ain’t no heaven callin’, so I make my way
Walkin’ with the shadows, don’t care what they say
[Bridge – whispered, eerie]
You can’t stop what’s already dead
You can’t stop what’s already dead
I’m walkin' with the lost, in the footsteps I’ve led
You can’t stop what’s already dead
[Final Hook – more ambient, moody build-up]
I got a deadman’s grin and a killer’s style
I’m risin’ from the dirt with a wicked smile
Ain’t no heaven callin’, so I make my way
Walkin’ with the shadows in the light of day
I got a deadman’s grin and a killer’s style
Risin’ from the dirt with a wicked smile
Ain’t no heaven callin’, so I make my way
Walkin’ with the shadows, don’t care what they say
[Outro – fading out]
I’m already gone…
I’m already gone…
