Verse 1

Woke to sirens in the avenue

Nobody left to run to

The streets are quiet

Quiet and wrong

I packed a blade and a photograph

Left the porch light on

Pre-Chorus

And I keep on walking

I keep on walking

Chorus

We are the walking dead

The walking dead

Dust on our shoulders

Rust in our heads

We are the walking dead

The walking dead

Counting our heartbeats

By the ones we fled

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh

Verse 2

Found a map in a stranger's car

Every road is a scar

My brother turned

Turned on me

Now I don't sleep I just listen hard

For the ones I can't see

Pre-Chorus

And I keep on walking

I keep on walking

Chorus

We are the walking dead

The walking dead

Dust on our shoulders

Rust in our heads

We are the walking dead

The walking dead

Counting our heartbeats

By the ones we fled

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh

Bridge

Tell me what survives

Tell me what survives

When the fences fall

When the radio dies

I'll still carry you

Carry you home

Carry you home

Chorus

We are the walking dead

The walking dead

Dust on our shoulders

Rust in our heads

We are the walking dead

The walking dead

Counting our heartbeats

By the ones we fled

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh

Verse

I feel sand on salt-soaked socks

As seagulls carve evening skies

On weathered wings built for bliss

I'll be adrift, I'll be adrift

Pre-Chorus

A broken staircase by the shore

Kept a shoe that lost its foot

Its laces looked defeated

By the steps it never took

Chorus

And though it kept on dreaming

Of the path it meant to miss

The sole was never soulless

To be adrift, to be adrift

Post-Chorus

To be adrift, to be adrift

To be adrift, to be adrift

Verse 2

The purpose of an ocean

Never questions time

It does not need a compass

Nor does it need a guide

Pre-Chrous

And still it stole the soles

That wandered on the sand

I followed where they'd vanished

Yet never left the land

Chorus

And though it kept on dreaming

Of the path it meant to miss

The sole was never soulless

To be adrift, to be adrift

Verse 3

Although I've lost my memories

Chasing shoes I forgot to miss

I stayed on the shores of reveries

I was adrift, I was adrift

Chorus

And though I kept on dreaming

Of the path I meant to miss

My soul was never soulless

I am adrift, always adrift

Post-Chorus

I am adrift

Always adrift
