"You said it's quite possible I feel truly dead inside"
lyrics
I am the living dead
My skin is pale and veins are ice cold blue
I feed upon the land
Sink my teeth into what I find, and I found you
Your bloods like marmalade
Its brings me back to warmer days
My clothes are torn
Covered in the flesh of my victims
I swallow their souls
Try To fill the void under my sternum
They call it a cavity
But I need more and more and more of you my sweet
I am the living dead
And you know Ive got your body on my mind
I never go to bed
I stay up til the sunlight gets too bright for my eyes
Have grown accustomed to the dark
With my lame leg I can hardly walk
My skin is rotting
Theres nothing that doctors say they’ll
Im sick of them watching
Like a spectacle they see at the zoo
I now spend my yearning years alone
I just wish I could make it home
Would you ever let me in?
They call me a zombie but I am a man I swear I am a man
Not nearly 20 and I’m lonelier than I’ve ever been
Oh they call me a zombie but I am a man I swear I am a man
My mother says shes proud of me and to be proud of what I am
I love you
Bye bye baby
Bye bye\
