Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I threw my phone out of the window

I'm so over it

Weight on my shoulders every day

Another storm to live

I'm standing at the ledge

My foot's about to slide

What if it takes the fall

For me to learn to fly?

[Verse 2]

I try to run from what I've done

And it cost me everyone

All it left me was feeling numb

[Chorus]

Sunrise, stayed up till the morning

Eyes stay bloodshot from the smoking

Another round and I'm locked and loaded

Faith has faded

Living on the edge, one foot in the coffin

Lord knows I don't pray too often

Knees down when the devil come calling

Ain't no saving

[Refrain]

Dead man walking

A dead man walking

[Verse 3]

Russian roulette

I swear I don't have many chances left

Know I should change

But man, I swear I'd rather dance with death

I'm just a desperate soul

Another broken human

I know some stars are falling

I know some stars are shooting

[Verse 4]

I get so high, I'm froze in time

Shattered pieces still on the floor

Of a heart no longer pure

[Chorus]

Sunrise, stayed up till the morning

Eyes stay bloodshot from the smoking

Another round and I'm locked and loaded

Faith has faded

Living on the edge, one foot in the coffin

Lord knows I don't pray too often

Knees down when the devil come calling

Ain't no saving

Dead man walking

A dead man walking (Ain't no saving)

[Refrain]

Dead man walking

A dead man walking

[Bridge]

I threw my phone out of the window (Dead man walking)

I'm so over it (A dead man walking)

Weight on my shoulders every day

Another storm to live

[Chorus]

Sunrise, stayed up till the morning

Eyes stay bloodshot from the smoking

Another round and I'm locked and loaded

Faith has faded

Living on the edge, one foot in the coffin

Lord knows I don't pray too often

Knees down when the devil come calling

Ain't no saving

[Outro]

Dead man walking

A dead man walking (Ain't no saving)

Dead man walking

A dead man walking
