Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On our knees we pray
As we waste away
And we dig our grave
Dead on arrival
[Verse 2]
I can't breathe
Got my head on the guillotine
Slipknot around my neck come and take a seat
Watch 'em bury me down till I'm six feet deep in the underground
Dead is the land of the free
Don't give just take every time you need
Don't give just take though it's killin' me
Don't give just take every time you need
Don't give just take
[Verse 3]
On our knees we pray
As we waste away
And we dig our grave
Dead on arrival
[Verse 4]
In this mess we made
Fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
[Verse 5]
I can't breathe
I keep treadin the water
Am I not worth saving?
But we're all goin under
Am I not worth saving?
Don't give just take every time you need
Don't give just take though it’s killin' me
Don't give just take every time you need
Don't give just take
[Verse 6]
On our knees we pray
As we waste away
And we dig our grave
Dead on arrival
[Verse 7]
In this mess we made
Fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
[Verse 8]
I can't breathe!
Am I not worth saving?
Am I not worth saving?
[Verse 9]
On our knees we pray
As we waste away
And we dig our grave
Dead on arrival
[Verse 10]
In this mess we made
Fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain
Dead on arrival
[Verse 11]
Yeah, dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead
