lyrics

DEAD MAN. WALKING.
DEAD MAN. WALKING.

I'm at a loss for words...Where do I even fuckin' start
With the story of a living thing that doesn't have a heart?
I'm *pissed off* beyond a shadow of a doubt
I hope you're listening right now so you can hear me call you out
You're deplorable, and you came across an angel
Who did nothing wrong except she had a very pretty face
So you cornered her, pinned her up against the wall
Though she begged and she pleaded you went through with it I'm told

You're very lucky I don't know who you are
She refuses to give up your name
But if and when she might decide to change her mind
You better run before I break your face

DEAD MAN. WALKING.
DEAD MAN. WALKING.

She was traumatized, but she kept it to herself
Half because she was embarrassed, half because she thought nobody would believe her
If she spoke of foul play
And she tells me you've been stalking her up to this very day
She's had enough of you, but you won't leave her alone
So she called the cops, didn't tell them EVERYTHING
Cause she felt bad, the gift she gave you was ignored
She just wants this to be over…you keep pushing it forward

She said no several times, didn't stop you now, did it?
You intimidated her 'til she broke down and gave in
You think you're in the clear? You didn't get away with shit

FUCK YOU!

You're very lucky I don't know who you are
She refuses to give up your name
But if and when she might decide to change her mind
You better run before I break your face

(WHY DOES EVERY GIRL I KNOW HAVE A STORY LIKE THIS!?)

You're very lucky I don't know who you are
She refuses to give up your name
But if and when she might decide to change her mind
You better run before I break your face

You better run before I break your face
You'll never hurt nobody else again
