DEAD MAN'S MELODY Lyrics

Woke up one morning I was struck wit sadness

Around this time my cousin died, both eyes were filled with madness

I hung my head low to the ground that day I hung it lower

Declining invites to all parties I'm no party goer

I showed up late to all my classes was tardy shower

Paid no attention always slept until my class was over

It was the end of school I'm crying while I'm walking home

Across the street a old man singing while he walked alone

I recognized the melody was such a empty song

I felt so empty at the time so I just hummed along

It was so weird cuz every step I took he also took

And every time I looked at him he'd just stare back and look

I wanna talk to him but also didn't feel the need

Until I stopped and the he stopped dropped into a plea

He looked up to sky and yelled this sentence clear as day

I hope you hear me god its just some things I gotta say

I lived life long upon this earth but this my final day

I done been cursed since I was birthed and it ain't gone away

From seeing casket after casket feels my soul decayed

Another female to the next and then I end up played

Another friendship down the drain because I felt betrayed

So fuck my life I say goodnight I won't put down the blade

Before he even gets the chance, I woke up from my sleep and scream

Sweating hard as hell that shit was way too real to be a dream

Man fuck

Oh no oh no tell me why I fear this

I always thought I was living fearless

Oh no oh no tell me why I fear this

I can't explain but I've been here before

I can't explain but I've been here before

I can't explain but I've been here before

Constant shivers sleeping cold nights

Some how I wake up in a sweat from seeing gore sights

I see those shadows breaking in I hold the door tight

Because I could never sell my soul up for a sell price

Lord will I ever reach the point to live a well life

Lord will I ever reach the point to live a swell life

A couple years go by I'm thinking bout that crazy dream

I was too young to sit and figure out just what it means

Somehow it crept back in mind and it aint never left

And every time I think about it tightness in my chest

I couldn't rest my souls complexed upon this haunted feeling

For many days no appetite nothing did sound appealing

Was getting lost up in my thoughts making up faulty answers

And when I thought I found solutions couldn't even chance them

Until I broke the dream down play by play as best I could

Maybe I'm overthinking I've been misunderstood

I'll explain best I can my brain insists I should

We walked the same and talked the same how I ain't see it clearer

Its my reflection in the mirror showing what is nearer

If I ain't clean up on my act and learn that life is lesson

There may be times its hard to grind but that don't stop progression

My dream was just warning sign of lingering depression

So hopefully I'll never end up like that older man

instead I'll show you all the fucking legend that I really am

Oh no oh no tell me why I fear this

I always thought I was living fearless

Oh no oh no tell me why I fear this

I can't explain but I've been here before

I can't explain but I've been here before

I can't explain but I've been here before

Constant shivers sleeping cold nights

Some how I wake up in a sweat from seeing gore sights

I see those shadows breaking in I hold the door tight

Because I could never sell my soul up for a sell price

Lord will I ever reach the point to live a well life

Lord will I ever reach the point to live a swell life
