Already Dead

I used to be cautious
Until he got his
Claws dug deep into my psyche
Something's happening to me
It's coursing through me
And I don't think it's leaving nicely

You need to stop and listen (yes)
It's time to recondition (yes)
And get into position (yes)
And then wait for my permission
The others will mislead you (yes)
I have the key to free you (yes)
If you could stop resisting (no, no, no, no)

Do any of you know what it's like to walk through the fire?
Know how to fight the crushing desire?
Go with a knife to do what's required?
I'm already dead since you got in my head!
Do any of you know what it's like to walk through the fire?
Know how to fight the crushing desire?
Go with a knife to do what's required?
I'm already dead since you got in my head!

(Stay the course, focus on the sound of my voice, everything is under control)
I wake up in a daze
My mind in a haze
The smell of devastation lingers
What did he make me do?
Or did I want to?
I can't get the blood off my fingers!

Do any of you know what it's like to walk through the fire?
Know how to fight the crushing desire?
Go with a knife to do what's required?
I'm already dead since you got in my head!
Do any of you know what it's like to walk through the fire?
Know how to fight the crushing desire?
Go with a knife to do what's required?
I'm already dead since you got in my head!

You don't need to believe me but just understand
That you can't get too close
Not with what I have planned
I hear the voice calling, I'll do what I can
My body is yours to command!
