Dead Man’s Switch Lyrics by Secondhand Saints

2021

Your words they cut like knives
Slowly sink into my skin
Cut me up and gut me out
To find the light within
I'm helpless 'cause I'm heartless
Do I even care?
I'm crossing every border
But it's getting me nowhere

There's no vanity in my agony
Beauty bleeds to die
A dark side to my own beliefs
More than meets the eye

I would sacrifice my sanity for love
Turn back time to stop this thing that I've become
This dead man's switch, the itch, is eating me alivе
Death is kindness in this evеrlasting lie

As I fall down at every climb
I'm slowly running out of time
The beast that never sleeps, awakens me
Every single night
Nurturing my hanging tree
Wagering with my life

If these walls could speak
Would they mention the pain
And the anger that I keep?
I feel so left out
Time moves slowly
When you're dying lonely

Behind my painted smile
I'll face all my anger in silence
Raging with violence
Chasing elusive targets
It's more than a mindset
A silent assassin in disguise

See the fire raging in my eyes

I would sacrifice my sanity for love
Turn back time to stop this thing that I've become
This dead man's switch, the itch, is eating me alive
Death is kindness in this everlasting lie

I would sacrifice my sanity for love
I would sacrifice my sanity for love
I would sacrifice my sanity for love
Turn back time to stop this thing that I have
Things that I've become
