JT Music - Dead to Me lyrics

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
