Dead Man Attack Part 2
'Allow me to introduce myself.'
The dead man speaks.
'I'm right inside your head.'
Nobody needs to feel so empty inside.
Eventually I'll make it out.
Before I begin to crumble into oblivion.
I must break loose from this hell I'm in.
It's just that lately I haven't been myself.
I thought about falling down and giving in.
Temptations want me more than you will ever know.
Outside of this reality,
I'd like to feel something.
I just can't shake it.
More than likely though.
I can't break it.
I feel nothing.
I feel nothing.
Nervously, I break my silence.
Hear me die, feel my distortion.
Help me live, fear my pain.
When will this love break through?
Why can't I just be free?
The dead man replies,
'Because you are me'
