[Verse 1]
Iron in my lungs
venom in my veins
Name on a stone
still speaking through the pain
I hear the dirt fall
every time I breathe
World kept spinning
but it buried me
Woke in a warzone
halo made of rust
Bootprints on my chest
teeth full of dust
If this is what they call
rest in peace
Why do I feel these
broken knees
[Chorus]
I may be dead
but I walk this world
while the ashes rain from above
Got a heart that quit
but it still hits back
twisted, toxic love
From the grave to the gutter
I drag my chains
through the cities and the saints
I may be dead
but I walk this world
while the ashes rain
[Verse 2]
Saw my own body
cold on a slab
Tag on my toe
like a joke, like a jab
They tried to zip me
into quiet white
I ripped that plastic
bit the night
Every lie they fed me
flowers on my chest
Every empty promise
printed on the vest
Now every step I take
cracks concrete
Every word I spit
burns cold and sweet (yeah)
[Chorus]
I may be dead
but I walk this world
while the ashes rain from above
Got a heart that quit
but it still hits back
twisted, toxic love
From the grave to the gutter
I drag my chains
through the cities and the saints
I may be dead
but I walk this world
while the ashes rain
[Bridge]
Tell me, is this curse
or is this crown
I keep rising, keep rising
but I stay nailed down
You can light that match
you can watch me burn
I turn smoke into blood
every time I return (hey!)
[Chorus]
I may be dead
but I walk this world
while the ashes rain from above
Got a heart that quit
but it still hits back
twisted, toxic love
From the grave to the gutter
I drag my chains
through the cities and the saints
I may be dead
but I walk this world
while the ashes rain (oh)
while the ashes rain
