Dead Reckoning

Shambling like a walking corpse

living, but not quite alive

you return again and again

to the sites once occupied in life

you're just a ghost

you're just a ghost of the past

you are condemned

condemned to repeat your actions

you're just a shadow

that leaves no trace

trapped in an endless pattern

conditioned to accept your fate

your mind is dulled

your body propelled forward

you're held in thrall

to perform the bidding of your masters

the body moves

but the heart no longer beats

cold as the deepest ocean

blood freezes in your veins

trapped inside a failing body

you are a mindless slave

all feeling has been forgotten

it's all rotten away

you're just a shadow

that leaves no trace

trapped in an endless pattern

conditioned to accept your fate

your mind is dulled

your body propelled forward

you're held in thrall

to perform the bidding of your masters

the body moves

but the heart no longer beats

cold as the deepest ocean

blood freezes in your veins

trapped inside a failing body

you are a mindless slave

all feeling has been forgotten

it's all rotten away

someone's pulling at your strings

so pull back

you aren't holding your own reins

so break them

the body moves

but the heart no longer beats

cold as the deepest ocean

blood freezes in your veins

trapped inside a failing body

you are a mindless slave

all feeling has been forgotten

it's all rotten away
