“Dead Talk” was released as the first single from What If I Break? following a 2 year hiatus after the departure of Wind Walker’s original singer, Corey Prokowiew.
New vocalist Trevor Borg shared in an Instagram post that he wrote this song in honor of his late grandfather, who passed shortly after...
[Verse 1]
I've been living existentially
For months
Feels like days
I feel you in different plain
Unknown
Hating myself for forgetting your voice and things you would say
Tend to let my mind take over my brain sometimes
Sleeping when I'm awake
Staying locked up in my head
Where I speak with the dead
[Chorus]
Should I surrender?
'Cause nothing lasts forever
I've broke bones to get this far
Just gotta keep it together
When everything I'm dreaming of fades into gray
The life that I'vе envisioned seems so bright anyway
[Verse 2]
Finding that peacе
Digging so deep it hurts to look in
Cuts through, I don't have the skin
I'm blind like you wanted
I'm trying to compose it
Thinking 'bout your voice and things you would say
Tend to let my mind take over my brain sometimes
Sleeping when I'm awake
I just wanna speak with the dead
Wanna scream with the dead, yeah
[Chorus]
Should I surrender?
'Cause nothing lasts forever
I've broke bones to get this far
Just gotta keep it together
When everything I'm dreaming of fades into gray
The life that I've envisioned seems so bright anyway
[Bridge]
Giving in
Turning towards the corner to your end
Speak with me
Tell me you're not leaving when you go
Not leaving when you go
Not leaving when you go
[Chorus]
Should I surrender?
'Cause nothing lasts forever
I've broke bones to get this far
Just gotta keep it together
When everything I'm dreaming of fades into gray
The life that I've envisioned seems so bright anyway
It seems so bright anyway
