Been this way for so damn long I can't remember what my life was like before So much pain and so much loss The rest of the world and myself at war Chokin' on a past of lies and deceit Had to swallow that bitter pill Now I know that I ain't long for this world There's nothin' left inside me to kill You can't kill what's already dead You can't kill what's already dead You can't kill what's already dead You can't kill what's already dead Well I guess they all can sense it When my negativity fountain flows 'Cause when you're up to your neck in despair I guess it really shows And when I'm looking down the line I just can't see it gettin' better 'Cause nothing can change a leopard's spots And there ain't no such thing as deader You can't kill what's already dead You can't kill what's already dead You can't kill what's already dead You can't kill what's already dead Wastin' away in the land of the damned Watchin' my time slip by And even if I cared enough I ain't got no tears to cry And should another life lie beyond this place I'm not sure I'd want to live it See, I don't worry about the dead 'Cause it's the living we should pity You can't kill what's already dead You can't kill what's already dead You can't kill what's already dead No, you can't kill what's already dead Already dead
