Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm
He moves slow through the morning
Like the sun forgot to rise
Got a heartbeat ticking quiet
Like it's running out of tries
Used to walk like he meant it
Now he drifts like a ghost
Got a shadow on his back
Where ambition lived the most
Ain't no spark in his eyes
They just flicker like a bulb
You can talk but it's distant
Like he's tuning out the world
He ain't broken ain't dying
Ain't caught in some collapse
He's a man who lost the engine
That once drove him off the maps
He ain't hurt
He ain't gone
He's alive but barely on
Looks like death in the daylight glare
But it's just a fire he can't repair
He's a dead man
Walkin' with the shell of who he used to be
Dead man
Driftin' like the tide stole all his energy
Dead man
Heart still beats but the drive won't stand
Ain't buried
Ain't gone
Just livin' like a dead man
Yeah
Hmmmmm
He don't answer to his name like it used to strike a flame
Got his purpose on pause
Got his dreams out of frame
He ain't careless
He ain't cold he just slid off the track
Lost the future in his chest and don't know how to get it back
You can hand him all the sunlight but it never hits his skin
Like the warmth can't get through to where the shadows settle in
He ain't trying to be tragic ain't performin' some cliché
He's just stuck between the living and the man he was yesterday
He ain't numb he ain't gone
He's just tired to the bone
Looks like sleep with the curtains drawn
But it's just a will that's turned to stone
He's a dead man
Walkin' with the shell of who he used to be
Dead man
Movin' like the world stole his velocity
Dead man
Breath still there but the spark won't land
Ain't buried ain't gone
Ain't buried ain't gone
The shell of who he used to be
Yeah
Movin' like the world stole his velocity
Dead man
Heart still beats but the spark ain't there
Ain't buried ain't gone
Just livin' like a dead man
Hmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Some fires die quiet
No smoke no sound
One morning you wake
And the drive ain't around
No drama no crash
Just a slow fade down
A king in his castle
But he misplaced the crown
Dead man
Walkin' through the days like he's made of sand
Dead man
Still here still breathin' but he barely stands
Dead man
Waitin' for a spark he can't command
Ain't gone ain't lost
Just livin' like a dead man
