They say true understanding Only comes when you're alone Well, here you'll find me standing Lacerated to the bone I'm lacerated to the bone I never learn from my mistakes I should have kept my distance, Should have left well enough alone And now I watch you feed me The last remnants of my soul I'm lacerated to the bone I never learn from my mistakes From your mouth, your words escape, From the ground, you walk away I'm lacerated to the bone I crawl across this concrete floor I hear me say, "I should have known I've seen this happen all before" I'm breathing in this vacant hole Where no one comes and no one knows I should have seen the weeping walls And closed my ears to desperate thoughts And now I'm breathing in this hole, A strange corner far from hope
A headcrush man with hopeless fears I should have known to leave this place This bitter air this vacant space I should have left without a trace I should have run when you touched me, A perfect touch laced with defeat, A single touch to make me weak You're listening to a dead man speak I never learned from my mistakes You're listening to a dead man speak I never learned from my mistakes You're listening to a dead man speak. (I should have f**in' known) You're listening to a dead man speak You're listening to a dead man speak You're listening to a dead man speak You're listening to a dead man speak You're listening to a dead man speak You're listening to a dead man speak You're listening to a dead man speak You're listening to a dead man speak
