Dead Man Walking - Brent Faiyaz

Sailing on my every step Inching off of the earth Is magnified by the things I've done The thing that I've become Every lift of my hand Coffee cup and back Is magnified by the things I've done The things I've seen The things I've caused I'm a dead man walking The hammer that I once brought down now hovers over me Cast a shadow across, onto me The hallways are all mocking me What I've become They're all mocking me I'm a dead man walking A dead man walking A dead man walking I'm a dead man walking Dead man walking Dead man walking

You make me not feel like a man Keep throwing stones for a while, you can I know myself and who I am There are stories in these callused hands That, not a soul will ever hear I've only grown from the tears I'm the dead man in this war But baby, I've been here before There's beauty hidden in the gore Yeah, I'm the dead man in this war, uh-huh Do you remember September? Do you remember September? You threw me back into the fire I screamed while your smile was gettin' wider, oh-oh Demons and angels in my choir, mm Singing about what I desire And not a soul will ever hear I've only grown from the tears, oh I'm the dead man in this war But baby, I've been here before There's beauty hidden in the gore Yeah, I'm the dead man in this war, uh-huh Do you remember September? Do you remember September? Wait on, wait on Give me back my old salvation Wait on, wait on Give me back my old salvation Wait on, wait on Give me back my old salvation Wait on, wait on Yeah I'm the dead man in this war But baby, I've been here before (I've been here before) There's beauty hidden in the gore (yeah) Yeah, I'm the dead man in this war, uh-huh Yeah, oh Yeah, oh (There's beauty hidden in the gore) (I'm the dead man in this war)

Moving in silent desperation Keeping an eye on the Holy Land A hypothetical destination Say, who is this walking man? Well, the leaves have come to turning The goose has gone to fly And bridges are for burning So don't you let that yearning pass you by Mister walking man, the walking man walks Any other man stops and talks The walking man walks The frost is on the pumpkin The hay is in the barn And Pappy's come to rambling on Stumbling around drunk Down on the farm The walking man walks on by Doesn't know nothing 'bout nothing at all Any other man stops and talks Walking man walks Suppose everybody got seed to sow It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, no, no So he don't hold the road for no one Oh no, for sure one's always missing And something is never quite right But who would want to listen to you? Kissing his existence good night Yeah, mister walking man, walk on by my door Any other man stops and talks But not the walking man He walk on by That's just the walking man, that's him He walk on by Ain't that a walking man, born to walk Walk on by Oh, walking man, yeah, walk on by Ain't that a walking man

Without my walking stick, I'd go insane I can't look my best I feel undressed without my cane. Must have my walking stick 'cause it may rain When it pours can't be outdoors without my cane. If I ever left my house without my walking stick Well it would be something I could never explain Oh the thing that makes me click, on lovers lane Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane. Be-bop-bop-de-la-dum Be-bop-a-da-bum Re-bop-be-a Rop-a-de-bop Rump-a-de-dum Ra-da-da-de Re-bop-bop-la-da-dum Re-bop-be-de-a Rop-a-de-bum Rop-a-de-bum Deet-de-de-a Ra-da-da-dum If I ever left my house without my walking stick Well it would be something I could never explain Oh the thing that makes me click on lovers lane Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane.
