[Verse 1]
You make me not feel like a man
Keep throwin' stones for while you can
I know myself and who I am
There's stories in these calloused hands
[Pre-Chorus]
That not a soul will ever hear
I've only grown from the tears
[Chorus]
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, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Do you remember September?
Do you remember September?
[Verse 2]
You threw me back into the fire
I screamed while your smile was gettin' wider, oh-oh
Demons and angels in my choir, mm
Singin' about what I desire
[Pre-Chorus]
That not a soul will ever hear, oh, ooh
I've only grown from the tears, ooh
[Chorus]
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, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Do you remember September?
Do you remember September?
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I'm the dead man in this war (Oh)
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, ooh
[Outro]
Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh
(There's beauty hidden in the gore)
(I'm the dead man in this war)
