Undead (Alternate Version)

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Cold in the marrow now

Something moving underneath my skin

I remember warm hands

Now I count the hours I am in

The mirror keeps a stranger

Who wears my face and does not blink

I died somewhere around the river

And forgot to sink

Pre-Chorus

Something keeps me walking

Something keeps me here

Something keeps me talking

To no one near

Chorus

I am the undead

Nothing left to bury

I am the undead

Slow and solitary

Every breath a borrowed thing

Every night a hollow ring

I am the undead

Drop

Undead

Undead

Verse 2

My heart is just a habit

Pumping nothing through a borrowed chest

I stand among the living

A guest who never left

The priest he read my name out

Scattered ashes on the snow

But I got up anyway

Nowhere else to go

Pre-Chorus

Something keeps me walking

Something keeps me here

Something keeps me talking

To no one near

Chorus

I am the undead

Nothing left to bury

I am the undead

Slow and solitary

Every breath a borrowed thing

Every night a hollow ring

I am the undead

Drop

Undead

Undead

Bridge

Let me rot let me rust

Let me scatter into trust

Let me fall let me fade

Let me be the debt I paid

Undead undead undead

Chorus

I am the undead

Nothing left to bury

I am the undead

Slow and solitary

Every breath a borrowed thing

Every night a hollow ring

I am the undead
