[Intro] …Wait. Did my chest just go *thump-thump?* No no no… That can’t be good. [Verse 1] Used to stumble through the graveyard haze, Eating gas-station chips for days, Lost an eyeball back in June, Found it floating in a soup spoon. Neighbors screamed when I said “hey,” Mostly ‘cause my arm fell off halfway, Life was simple being undead, No taxes, no feelings, no existential dread. [Pre-Chorus] But then one night beneath the moon, My cold dead chest went boom-boom-boom, I thought it was trapped gas at first… Turns out my heart got reimbursed. [Chorus] Oh no, my heartbeat’s back, Now I’m having panic attacks, I used to groan and chase down brains, Now I cry at puppy names. Thump-thump, what’s happening to me? I just bought scented candles accidentally, Went from zombie king of doom… To dancing while I vacuum the room. [Verse 2] I started showering twice a week, Brushing moss out of my teeth, Started saying “please” and “thanks,” Now the skeletons call me fake. Craved a salad yesterday, Then apologized to prey, Watched a rom-com, shed a tear, Now I moisturize behind the ears. [Pre-Chorus] My zombie crew all gathered ‘round, When they heard my healthy human sound, “Bro… your heartbeat sounds kinda lame.” Yeah well, Carl, I learned my name. [Chorus] Oh no, my heartbeat’s back, I bought matching pillows for my shack, Used to howl and spread disease, Now I compost autumn leaves. Thump-thump, what a twist, I even made a dentist list, Went from undead lord of fright… To crying at weddings every night. [Bridge] Last week I chased a human guy… Just to return his dropped apple pie, He said, “Sir… are you okay?” I said, “Emotionally? No way.” And every beat inside my chest, Feels weirdly warm beneath the stress, Like somewhere under rot and grime… I slowly came back life this time. [Final Chorus] Oh wow… my heartbeat stayed, Guess the monster kind of faded, Still got stitches, still smell strange, But maybe dead things still can change. Thump-thump, loud and true, Got a second life to stumble through, And if my heart can start again… Maybe there’s hope for all of them. [Outro] …Also… Can someone teach me taxes?
