"Dead Man Walking" lyrics

I'm uncovering buried secrets
I've been draggin' the depths of the deep end
Living right on the edge of an amen
And barely hanging on

You tried to bleach the evidence
Cover up your tracks
But you forgot about the knife
You left in my back
Yea your hands are dripping red
And your alibi
Is barely hanging on

I'm a dead man walking
I've been running for my life
(I've been running for my life)
Six feet falling
It's killing me to try to survive
I'm a dead man (Dead man)
I'm a dead man walking

You carved my name in the heart broke headstone
"Here lies the bones of the love that you let go"
You cover me in the dirt that you throw
To try and sleep at night

You trash my name to your friends
Like it's therapy
And pass if off as a personal epiphany
Bad advice feeds the lies that you tell
Just to try and sleep at night

I'm a dead man walking
I've been running for my life
(I've been running for my life)
Six feet falling
It's killing me to try to survive
I'm a dead man (Dead man)
(It's killing me to try to survive)
I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking
I've been running for my life
(I've been running for my life)
Six feet falling
It's killing me to try to survive
I'm a dead man

I'm a dead man walking
I've been running for my life
(I've been running for my life)
Six feet falling
It's killing me to try to survive
I'm a dead man
