Dead to Me - JT Music

I’ll never let you get under my skin

Unless you already did

I know some monsters come from within

One of which I’ll never be rid

Crash landed, and Houston we have a problem

Cracked open a planet, and a pandemic caught us

Swallowed whole, the moment it marked us

Scarred us, turned us inside out and mocked us

Walked around in our skin, with a cadaverous mask

Can’t even let the dead rest and leave the past in the past

I’m glad that I’m aptly strapped with plasma gats

Deadly to wipe off my feet on these hazardous mats

Maybe I’m haunted by my tragic past

But I’ll rip my demons limb from limb 'till I’m fresh outta gas

Sorry but I had to vent just now

So if you’re crawling through an air duct, Hunker down

I mean it, keep to yourself or you’ll be placed in stasis

Cuz the dead have yet to remain dead, they’re graveless

Now I’m up to my neck in this, hardly fight 'em off

My name is Isaac Clarke, and I’m soon signing off

Survival’s all I’ve left to do

As you become nothin' but memory

I know that I was never dead to you

But I’ll move forward because you’re dead to me

I guess I let you get under my skin

For death, I have an affinity

We all keep some demons within

Which we supress with divinity

What happens when you’re lackin' resources

And you’re a hack, neck deep in external forces

For sure, Ishimura could not afford this

So rife with strife, and no life insurance

But now we’re wound up tight like a corset

Of corpses, guts ruptured — it’s abhorrent

Shoulder blades made literal, form distorted

Into an awful entity — sentience unimportant

Carnage this visceral could never last

Natural selection nobody’s gettin' past

My degree in engineering — mechanic

But now I’m second guessing, wish I went with genetics

Is everyone demented, defective, infected

I stare death in the face and yet, I’m irreverent

Perseverance, keepin' me movin

And just the memory of you is keepin' me human

Survival’s all I’ve left to do

As you become nothin' but memory

I know that I was never dead to you

But I’ll move forward.

Why bother screaming

Don’t see the point

No one will hear it

We’re in the void

As I drift into darkness

Doom is drawing near me

And all along I’m screamin'

But nobody hears me

Survival’s all I’ve left to do

As you become nothin' but memory

I know that I was never dead to you

But I’ll move forward

Because you’re dead to me.

Because you’re dead to me.
