Wishlane Dead Man Walking Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This was never the plan
I can't change your demands but I can see them
Through again and again
I'll stand too close to the edge so I can feel you
Look at me like a dead man walking
Tell me everything 'bout how I'm all that you got
Circle me like a fresh, ripe carcass
Then drive the blade in my chest just to loosen the knot

[Chorus]
But I won't go
Spend my whole life pretending I'm home
While no one knows
Don't you get it? I've been away too long
So I won't go
(So much for missed time, I get a little)
Spend my whole life defending a ghost
While no one knows
(Caught in the headlights, I wouldn't give it up)
(Don't you get it? I've been away too long)

[Verse 2]
Do you think of me as a man Enough to give me the chance not to disappoint you?
For the moment, I can't
Seem to figure me out, but I wanted to know you instead
Save yourself the trouble of getting in my head
Grinding down your teeth, are you tasting the lead?
Breathing down my neck, am I already dead?

[Chorus]
‘Cause I won't go
Spend my whole life pretending I'm home
While no one knows
Don't you get it? I've been away too long
So I won't go
(So much for missed time, I get a little)
Spend my whole life defending a ghost
While no one knows
(Caught in the headlights, I wouldn't give it up)
Don't you get it? I've been away too long

[Outro]
(I won't go)
(No one knows)
(I won't go)
(No one knows)
