Lyrics

You know I'm not dead
You know I'm, you know I'm not dead
You know I'm not dead
Now you know
Where I've been
As you sleep
Torn I am
Weighted down
Patiently
Born of love
You know I'm, you know I'm not dead
I'm just livin' in my head
Forever waitin'
On the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all
Into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I'm not dead
You know I'm, you know I'm not dead
You know I'm not dead
Found below
The creatures scream
Strangle hold
A god machine
Begins to
Tear us out
What is hell?
You know I'm, you know I'm not dead
I'm just the tears inside your head
Forever waitin'
On the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all
Into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I'm not dead
We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog
The fickle fascination of an everlasting god
You know I'm not dead
I'm just livin' in my head
Forever waitin'
Forever waitin' a cruel death
You know I'm not dead
I'm just living for myself
Forever waitin'
You know I'm not dead
You know I'm not dude
You know I'm not dead
You know I'm not dude
