  • Flatline for the ninth time
    I'm on a first name basis with the afterlife
    And there's no ceiling when you're the demon
    I've dug myself out of the dirt for a reason

    And I'm never running, so try it again
    Starting me over, right back at the end
    "When's the last time you were afraid?"
    "I haven't been afraid a day in my life"

    The dead don't die, the heart still beats
    Head held high, I haunt these streets
    Life's killed me a hundred thousand times
    You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die
    Knock me down six feet deep
    One more round, no reprieve
    Life's killed me a hundred thousand times
    You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die

    In the mirror, no reflection
    Another day, just another resurrection
    Where's the glory? Just another story
    I won't be the ending that was written for me

    And I'm never running, so try it again
    Starting me over, right where it began
    "Huh, it's pretty boring, isn't it, this existence?"
    "Might as well not take fear off the table"

    The dead don't die, the heart still beats
    Head held high, I haunt these streets
    Life's killed me a hundred thousand times
    You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die
    Knock me down six feet deep
    One more round, no reprieve
    Life's killed me a hundred thousand times
    You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die

    "I think everyone's a little scared of what's next
    Live or die, live or die"

    The dead don't die, the heart still beats
    Head held high, I haunt these streets
    Life's killed me a hundred thousand times
    You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die
    Knock me down six feet deep
    One more round, no reprieve
    Life's killed me a hundred thousand times
    You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die (hey)

    Life's killed me a hundred thousand times
    You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die Writer/s: Blair Daly, Brent Smith, Eric Bass, Zac Maloy, Zach Myers

  • Aj from OhioWho voices the "When was the last time you were afraid?" and the "I haven't been afraid a day in my life"? To me, it sounds like a movie quote that they sampled. Is it?
