Dead Man Walking Lyrics by Almost Awake

Until Tomorrow

2017

(Verse 1)
The planes in the sky watch over me
But I know I'll never fly as high
The mystery
Of reality
All the time that's killing me
Interrupt my make-believe
Close the door when you leave

(Pre-chorus)
On and on it goes
It's dangerous that no one knows
Don't you wanna die alone
Well it's safe to say I don't think so

(Chorus)
Should've read your warning
But I jumped right in
Settled at the bottom
Now you're under my skin
I feel so impatient
But I'm sick of waiting
Dead man walking
I'm a dead man

(Verse 2)
The trees in the ground tower over me
But my roots will never go as deep
Mistakes I've made
A different place
A coffin wrapped in pretty lace
Remember all the things I say
And lust for another way

(Pre-chorus)
On and on it goes
It's dangerous that no one knows
Don't you wanna die alone
Well it's safe to say I don't think so
On and on it goes
It's dangerous that no one knows
Don't you wanna die alone
Well it's safe to say I don't think so

(Chorus)
Should've read your warning
But I jumped right in
Settled at the bottom
Now you're under my skin
I feel so impatient
But I'm sick of waiting
Dead man walking
I'm a dead man
I'm a dead man

(Outro)
And I'm sick of waiting
I'm sick of waiting
I'm sick of waiting
