deep inside I've been force-fed lies
and only lead astray
I've been nailed to the wheel
and left behind and only cast away
now you can never break me
never take me
the lines that crack my face are real... blind
blind... my obsession drifts away
my obsession is my blind faith
my obsession drifts away
it is only my blind faith
abuse is the name of the ghost I ride
and I'm battered and not broke ...
I know no pain inside my shrine
the world grows cold I lose my mind
the wounds inside that just won't heal
the pain now grows I learn to feel
look in my soul you'll see it's true
look in my soul I live in you
look in my soul and see my eyes... look in my soul
release me - I will rise
release me - I can't die
release me - now set free
release me... release me
release me - I can't die
release me...
you've stumbled in now fortified
now taste the hate where worlds collide
breathing in your life subsides
knowing that your hands are tied... rage
concrete hammerhead
lord of all that makes you dead
king of kings and all is said
concrete hammerhead
reaching for the sky again
reaching for the sky again
concrete hammerhead
concrete hammerhead
you are the one that feeds the need
sucked down by add...
intro: I am the dead man walking
I am the dead man walking
I am the dead man walking
...the last of my bloodline
there is a pain that burns inside
from the truth I cannot live or hide
destroying all that once was mine
it controls all that I now see
this parasite that eats away at me
my blistered soul that just won't heal
numb to all I cannot live or feel
dead man walking
and whoa again I bleed...
lay out the spade in a nation of hate
where the color of skin rules all
now see the hands of the dealer of lies
where the weak are humbled and fall
and my hands are tied
in this world's demise
now borrowed time
and you walk the line
in this world sublime
and you're left behind
but don't pray for me
downcast... in your world to be
downcast... and we all shall see
now breath the air in this worl...
dig through the dirt
where I now lay
see the penance
that I now pay
I'm alive in the devil's hatred
where nothing is sacred in me
now kiss the throne
of fist and bone
my apathy invades you
my holy will to be
I'll suck the life out from you
and bring you to your knees
I am the blistered one
the man undone, the prodigal son
I - am faceless
I - am soulless
I - am faceless
I - am you
project me de...
deeper within the sorrow grows
buried in me are the seeds I've sown
I've given to you all I have to give
and you turned me away
feed... and I'm sober
feed... and I'm colder
feed... and I'm older
and I'm older
and I'm older
and I am blessed within
free from all my sins
and I am blessed within
free from all my sins
feed... and I'm sober
feed... and I'm colder
feed... and I'm older
and I'm older
...
one on one you face the truth that might be your end
closing shadows, guns drawn
the hands of time are not thine friend
and it's an eye for an eye
before you die
don't close your eyes
or waste your time
it's an eye for an eye
final hour drawing nearer and
the seconds seem like years
vision clear, barrel cold
and the albatross watches me
mother mercy forgive sins
time to face the bringer of tea...
so stop pretending... that you know who I am and that you
understand
and stop pretending... that you feel my pain, part of your evil scam
and you've only faded
and you've only faded
and you've only faded
and you've only faded
into the octane jesus
into the octane jesus
into the octane jesus
faded, faded
faded, faded
so stop pretending... it's okay to feel the way I do
and stop pretending... 'c...
I was the one that you laid out on the table
torn from the heart that once was too blind
now I see clearly the skull that smiles on the mantle
this open wound that bleeds for the deception of me
access denied
you swine
access denied
you swine
access... access... denied
you're a pig-face liar
you're a pig-face liar
you're a pig-face liar
and you cannot deny
I only wanted retribution yet you see...
tear me open and look inside
see the thing I've become
watch my world now collide
blistered mind, wasted time
am I so blind
been the one that they made
and they left behind
can you feel me
can you feel me rise
can you feel me rising
see they tears of my shame
as they fall like rain
clench my fist and dismiss
but then who's to blame
roach list... roach list... roach list - you're bleeding me
de...
push back at the world around me
I've been the slave they made you see
I've been the one they wanted me to be
don't push me down
I've been the one that they held back on the ground
confused in a life that is so profound
I've been the one they wanted me to be
don't push me down
the strength to overcome me
the strength to rise again
I'm pushing away at the things inside
I'm running away but I ca...
