[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
[Chorus]
Yeah, wake up in the dark, heart beats cut the silence
Every shadow scaring me I think they wanna bury me
Tryna find my spark, new tracks tryna light it
But tell me what's the point when I'm a dead man walking?
Oh lord, can you save my soul?
I've been calling out for help
But can you catch me when I'm falling down
I know, I don't wanna let go
I don't wanna end my life
But my life's been crashing down
[Verse 1]
How can I cope in the world so insane
What's the point of money? You can't take it to the grave
Working to the bone just so you can buy things
Look at how they judge you if you ain't in a maze
New distractions, so many distractions
Worshipping celebrities while you making a fraction
What happened? Blinded by the traction
Way too blind to see the devil killing your passion
They don't wanna think about it when I write like that
Yeah, and when I light them up, I bring the scythe right back
And the more I start to notice shit, Imma really start talkin'
I know I'm a dead man walking
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
[Chorus]
Yeah, wake up in the dark, heart beats cut the silence
Every shadow scaring me I think they wanna bury me
Tryna find my spark, new tracks tryna light it
But tell me what's the point when I'm a dead man walking?
Oh lord, can you save my soul?
I've been calling out for help
But can you catch me when I'm falling down
I know, I don't wanna let go
I don't wanna end my life
But my life been crashing down
[Verse 2]
Crawling out the coffin
All my pain, gave me everything I wanted
Drowning way too often
I keep moving cause I know the devil's plotting
In my way, all my demons in my way now
When I hit them with the scythe they all stay down
Every day they've been praying that I break down
But I'ma take over the world, it's all laid out
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
[Chorus]
Yeah, wake up in the dark, heart beats cut the silence
Every shadow scaring me I think they wanna bury me
Tryna find my spark, new tracks tryna light it
But tell me what's the point when I'm a dead man walking?
Oh lord, can you save my soul?
I've been calling out for help
But can you catch me when I'm falling down
I know, I don't wanna let go
I don't wanna end my life
But my life been crashing down
