Dead Man Walking

I created a wound
But you made the kill
Now my life’s gone
My blood has been spilt

Why did you do it?
Why am I dead?
Thoughts of our life still run through my head

My beautiful killer still there in my dreams
How can you smile through the sound of my screams?

We were so close
You had a grip on my heart
Then you got scared
And you tore it apart

I’m a dead man walking
But no one sees my scars
I’m a dead man walking
With a knife in my heart

Now I’m alone as I walk this crowded street
My veins have run dry
And my heart won’t beat

My gaze is blank and my thoughts are numb
Without purpose
Without direction

I’ll stare at the world
And out into space
But all I can see is your beautiful face

I’m a dead man walking
With invisible scars
I’m a dead man walking
I’ve been torn apart
