Defiance

He used to wake up like his life meant somethin’
Chased his dreams like it was all or nothin’
He’s burned out now, can’t seem to cope
Without a drink in his hand 
And a vein full of dope

Now he’s just driftin’ slow

In a house full of ghosts and the lies he’s told 

He’s the walking dead, cold inside
Runnin’ from the truth with blinded eyes 
Lit enough to burn alive 
Stuck in a loop, waiting to die 
He had it all and let it sink like lead 
Now his eyes don’t blink, 
Just tilts his head

He’s the walking dead… 

Yeah, he’s the walking dead

Got a kid he ain’t seen in years
She grew up fast while he drowned his tears
Ashes on the table, bugs on the bed
He gave her up for his freedom 
She’ll never mend the damage 
He did to her head 

Used to swear he’d clean it up
Now he’s passed out in that broke down truck 

He’s the walking dead, he lost the fight
Fallin’ through the cracks every Friday night
High enough he fakes a grin
Blackened blood beneath his skin
He wants to die — he’s made his bed 
He hardly speaks, just stares ahead
He’s the walking dead… 

Yeah, he’s the walking dead

He says “One more hit, then I’m through”
But he’s said that shit since ‘1992
He’s at war with no one to fight
Just a flicker in a broken light

He’s the walking dead, no soul to claim
Went out with a whimper 
Like a snuffed out flame 
High enough to dull the pain
And all the sorrow he creates 
He had a life — he had a chance 
A dirty mirror lies like it always did
He’s the walking dead…

He’s the walking dead…

Nowhere left to go 

But a grave

To lay
His head
