Dead as I am, here I stand unafraid Every nail and every board The house was built by the hands of a madman Without a window, without a door telltale beating in the dirty floor Every shadow in every corner A wicked memory is haunting me Clock is ticking like a time bomb motherf**ers won't let me be Dead as I am, here I stand unafraid With a smile on my face Live as a man with a foot in the grave And a smile on my face Every night I lie awake Paralyzed but I must be dreaming Hear you breathing, see your face Your lips are stained with your disgrace Abomination, a premonition Like a fire burning in the walls Cut out my eyes and took my vision I can't see at all Dead as I am, here I stand unafraid With a smile on my face Live as a man with a foot in the grave And a smile on my face And everybody tells me life is beautiful Life is beautiful Life is beautiful And everybody's saying love will save us all Time will change it all Can you hear them all Can't feel my fingers, can't feel my toes I think I'm running out of air I wanna scream can't make a sound Somebody get me out of here Dead as I am, here I stand unafraid With a smile on my face Live as a man with a foot in the grave And a smile on my face
