Dead Among The Living Lyrics

I know me—not well, but enough

Tough as steel, still fragile as dust

Eyes sharp, see through the fluff

But I'm blind, trippin' on my own damn stuff

Enemy number one, yeah, that's me

Perfection my weapon, shootin' deep, can't breathe

Overwhelm's my place, and I'm locked in the lease

Emotions stormin', but I speak in peace

Dead among the livin', numb inside

Eyes wide open, but I still wanna hide

Heart bleeds heavy with every fall

Mind spins circles, no escape at all

Can't breathe, Can't feel

(Feel)

Can't sing, Can't heal

(Heal)

Need air, need time

(Need time...)

Contradiction, yeah, that's my game

Simple yet twisted, complicated, unchained

Logic cold, but my heart's on fire

Stuck in my mind, climbin' higher, gettin' tired

The weight of the world, I'm feelin' it all

Every glance, every crash, every brick in the wall

Tough as they come, but I crumble from the depths

Fightin' my mind, can't trust myself

Dead among the livin', numb inside

Eyes wide open, but I still wanna hide

Heart bleeds heavy with every fall

Mind spins circles, no escape at all

Can't breathe, Can't feel

(Feel)

Can't sing, Can't heal

(Heal)

Need air, need time

(Need time...)

Run in my dreams, while I'm wide awake still

Happy-go-lucky, yeah, that's not my skill

I keep movin', keep losin' my grip

Tightrope walkin', spirit starts to tip

Peace ain't for the restless like me

Dead among the livin', numb inside

But I keep runnin', can't take this ride

Eyes wide open, but they don't see

The chaos, the war that lives in me

(the war that lives in me)
