I Ain’t Dead Yet

Verse 1

Woke up with the taste of rust

Blood in my hands from the promises crushed

Every road I took just led to dust

And I'm still crawling through the crowd and the crush

Pre-Chorus

You wanna see me break

You wanna watch the fire fade

Chorus

I ain't dead yet

I'm just waiting on the weight

I ain't dead yet

Let 'em circle round the gate

Verse 2

They threw their stones and called it grace

Now I'm standing in the wreck I made

No flag to fly no name to save

Just a hollow echo in the cave

Pre-Chorus

You wanna see me break

You wanna watch the fire fade

Chorus

I ain't dead yet

I'm just waiting on the weight

I ain't dead yet

Let 'em circle round the gate

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Down to the bone

Down to the floor

I find the nerve to ask for more

Knuckles split on the chapel door

Chorus

I ain't dead yet

I'm just waiting on the weight

I ain't dead yet

Let 'em circle round the gate

Outro

I ain't dead yet

Verse 3

I've been baptized in the mud and the rain

Every scar I got is a lesson from pain

They can rattle every chain on the wall

But I'm still standing when the pillars fall

Pre-Chorus

You wanna see me crawl

You wanna watch me lose it all

Chorus

I ain't dead yet

I'm just waiting on the weight

I ain't dead yet

Let 'em circle round the gate

Verse 4

I've got nothing left to give to the fight

But I'll drag my knuckles through the night

They can bury me in silence and stone

But I'll claw my way back on my own

Pre-Chorus

You wanna see me crawl

You wanna watch me lose it all

Chorus

I ain't dead yet

I'm just waiting on the weight

I ain't dead yet

Let 'em circle round the gate

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Ribs are cracked and my lungs are black

But there's a fire that keeps dragging me back

No crown no throne no peace at home

Just a wolf that learned to walk alone

Breakdown

Break me down (break me down)

Melting stone (melting stone)

I ain't bowing to the ground

Tear the crown (tear the crown)

From my bones (from my bones)

Watch me carry through the storm

Chorus

I ain't dead yet

I'm just waiting on the weight

I ain't dead yet

Let 'em circle round the gate

Outro

I ain't dead yet (ain't dead yet)

I ain't dead yet (ain't dead yet)

I ain't dead yet (ain't dead yet)

I ain't dead yet
