the settling of my every step
inching off of the earth
is magnified
by the things i've done
the thing that i've become

every lift of my hand
coffee cup and back
is magnified
by the things i've done
the things i've seen
the things i've caused
i'm a dead man walking

the hammer that i once brung down
now hovers over me
casts a shadow
a cross onto me

the hallways are all mocking me
what i've become
they're all mocking me
i'm a dead man walking
a dead man walking
a dead man walking

i'm a dead man walking
dead man walking
dead man walking
