awerysopelea - walking dead

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You wake up late you hide your face another morning you somehow survived You go to work you play your part and call it proof that you're still alive But every mirror knows your name and every picture shows what changed You say you're fine you say you're fine Then why can't you look yourself in the eyes? [Pre-Chorus] How much of you has to disappear before you finally see? You're waiting for the fall while you're already underneath [Chorus] THE WALKING DEAD You breathe, you move, you still pretend you say you're fine — then look again You're standing here but something's gone You've been dying all along THE WALKING DEAD No grave no blood no final breath Just pieces of you disappearing while you call it living yet You don't need proof that this is killing you YOU ARE THE PROOF [Verse 2] You had the strength you had the time you had a body you were proud to own You had the people who knew your smile before your eyes forgot their glow And every "just one more" took something you could never buy another month another year another piece you left behind You keep waiting for the moment when it finally gets bad Look around you It already has [Pre-Chorus] How much of you has to disappear before you finally scream? You keep saying you're still in control while you're losing everything [Chorus] THE WALKING DEAD You breathe, you move, you still pretend you say you're fine — then look again You're standing here but something's gone You've been dying all along THE WALKING DEAD No grave no blood no final breath Just pieces of you disappearing while you call it living yet You don't need proof that this is killing you YOU ARE THE PROOF [Post-Chorus] Look at yourself Look at yourself Do you still look yourself in the eyes? Look at yourself And tell me that's alive [Verse 3] No debt to pay no shattered home So you still tell yourself you haven't lost control But what is money when the price is written underneath your tired eyes? What is "fine" when every year you recognize yourself a little less? You didn't lose it all at once That's why you let it happen [Bridge] I won't tell you that you're gone I'M TELLING YOU YOU'RE GOING I won't tell you there's no way back I'M ASKING WHY YOU'RE STILL NOT RUNNING Your face your strength your years your name How much more are you willing to trade? For one more night for one more lie for five damn minutes of feeling alright? [Breakdown] You keep waiting for rock bottom Like it comes with flashing lights Like somebody rings the doorbell and says: "This is where you ruined your life." No. Sometimes rock bottom still goes to work. Sometimes rock bottom still pays the bills. Sometimes rock bottom looks completely normal— until you look in the mirror. [Silence] Look. [Final Chorus] THE WALKING DEAD You breathe, you move — BUT DON'T PRETEND Don't tell me you're still the same LOOK AGAIN You're standing here and you're not gone BUT HOW MUCH OF YOU IS HOLDING ON? THE WALKING DEAD No grave no blood no final breath Just pieces of you disappearing while you call it living yet You don't need proof that this is killing you YOU ARE THE PROOF [Final Lift] But if you're still here if you still feel this if one damn part of you still hates what you've become— then maybe that part isn't dead yet. So look at him. Look him in the eyes. And if he's still in there— GET HIM OUT [Outro] You don't need proof anymore. You are the proof. And you're still here. So do something with that.
