Already Dead

It's the year of the snake
Friends are overrated, so let's make no mistake
I watch from a distance while you poison the lake
A trail of ash that you leave in your wake
Knock me down, but I get back up
In the rain, I feel no pain from the cuts
Too much pain, is it ever enough?
In the rain and I'm filling my guts
You wanna hate me
You wanna try and break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shape me
You can try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead
Already dead
Already dead
Here I am again at the edge of a knife
Some of us are born at the end of our lives
Wake up in a sweat in the dead of the night
I must be dreaming
I can see the end of your reign
I can feel the hate filling your veins
Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames
You wanna hate me
You wanna try and break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shape me
You can try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead
'Cause I'm already dead
Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames
Watch me now as I'm breaking the chains
Leaving your whole empire in flames
You wanna hate me
Try to break me
But you can't kill me
'Cause I'm already dead
You can shape me
You can try and break me down
'Cause I'm already dead
'Cause I'm already dead
Dead
'Cause I'm already dead
