Verse 1: The house still smells of coffee In a world that's not mine anymore A little laugh, a little heartbeat Buried under ashes on the floor I built a god to save the children He burned my own to save his face Now I wear the smoke like armor And I hunt him through the human race Chorus: We are two dead men walking Through a city made of glass Two dead men talking About the love we couldn't pass One made of fire, one made of grief Both too broken to believe That anything survives When nothing's left to leave Verse 2: He was golden, I was hollow He was perfect, I was wrong We were mirrors in the darkness Singing the same broken song He touched my face like he was drowning I held my breath like I could save The only thing I ever wanted Was a world I couldn't have Chorus: We are two dead men walking Through a city made of glass Two dead men talking About the love we couldn't pass One made of fire, one made of grief Both too broken to believe That anything survives When nothing's left to leave Bridge: And the sky was bleeding red that night And the towers fell like prayers And I looked into the eyes of God And saw myself standing there He said: "I never wanted this" I said: "Neither did I" We were both just children Who forgot how to cry Final Chorus: We are two dead men standing In the ruins of the sun Two dead men holding What the other can't outrun One made of ash, one made of ice Both too tired to pay the price Of a war that never ended Because we never learned to die Outro: And he kissed me like a funeral And I held him like a grave Two monsters finding heaven In the hell we couldn't save
