**[Verse 1]**
I don't dream anymore,
I don't even try.
I have no story left to call mine.
I'm a stranger to my soul,
I'm nobody in your eyes.
A prisoner of these four walls inside.
I don't want
To face the day.
My life stood still the day
I lost myself along the way.
My bed has turned
Into a station,
Where I wait for the final destination.
**[Chorus]**
I am dead,
Cold and dead.
a lost soul abandoned one dark night,
Left alone to fear the silent dread.
I am dead,
Truly dead.
Sometimes I find myself—I don't know when.
Then I lose myself—I don't know where.
And after all these wasted years,
I still can't find my way back there.
**[Verse 2]**
Like a rope,
Like a buoy,
I cling to memories I've destroyed.
I'm so tired
Of pretending every day
That I'm somehow doing okay.
Every night I cut myself,
Every swallow tastes the same.
I don't look into the mirror anymore,
Since the day I walked away.
Now the face that's staring back at me
Has nothing left of yesterday.
**[Chorus]**
I am dead,
Cold and dead.
I gave this world so very little,
Left myself with emptiness instead.
I am dead,
Truly dead.
Burned every book I'd ever known,
Spat out every word I'd ever owned.
Yet there was a time
When I still knew how to live.
**[Verse 3]**
Emptiness has buried me.
Loneliness will never cease
As long as these lungs still breathe.
By an old radio,
Like a child who's lost his home,
I'll listen for a voice
That once belonged to me alone.
**[Chorus]**
I am dead,
Cold and dead.
Not because I ceased to be,
But because I faded into nothingness instead.
I am dead.
That's all.
I am dead.
I miss myself. I miss the ghost I used to be.
Like dust carried beneath the starlit sea.
I am dead.
That's all.
I am dead.
I miss myself.
My heart is dead,
Surrounded by walls.
It doesn't beat.
It only pumps blood.
I miss myself.
