"Dead Like Me" lyrics

"Dead Like Me"

Just a paper cut to spill your blood
Just a paper cut to spill your blood
I hear screams come out the window
Maybe next time your caress won't feel like rusted nails
I am the son of rejection
So hold me to the light
Tell me it's right to feel dead inside

I won't break, not today
I won't break, not today
Dead like me
Dead like me

Because beneath this stare is a desperate fight to stay alive
Tell me I'm not alone
Whisper that breath that fuels this fight
From now on, this is my life
Discontent for the rest of mankind
I'll always remember the way that touch felt and how I was so close
Four seconds away from death
Three seconds away from you
Two seconds away from death
One second away from you

I won't break, not today
I won't break, not today
Dead like me
Dead like me

Try to find reasons to resist, and I won't break, not today
Try to find reasons to resist, and I won't break, not today
Bring it

I look back on a broken mess
Pictures shattered with the shards of glass
This is what my life means to me
I look back on a broken mess
Pictures shattered with the shards of glass
This is what my life means to me
Oh

I won't break, not today
I won't break, not today
Dead like me
Dead like me
