Dead Man Talking

Dead Man Talking You think your alive as you open your mouth. Boasting of the trophies that hide all your doubts. You’ve lied to yourself so many times, that your heart believes it’s committed no crime. Your eyes are blind to what is near. They only see ghosts of all that you fear. The words that pour from an unrepentant tongue. Descend to your soul and devour your young. You’ve deceived yourself again, and again. Your hearts disappeared into the blackness of sin. You say the right words and believe the right things; But your mind’s been sold to a darkened king. Outside you’re alive. Inside you’re dead. Your bones are withered. You’re cursed instead. You’re a dead man talking. You just don’t believe it. You’ve lost who you are. You just can’t see it.
