Zombie

Forget the car
You always were my get away
From the first day that we met
You were my great escape
When the world got so tough
And I had to break away
We were outlaws with no cause and on the run

And all this time has passed
You must’ve cast some spell on me
‘Cause I swear to God
That I’ve still got your smell on me
But you had to go
So I had to kill your memory
Like you were never even there at all

You acted like you knew me
(Knew me, knew me)
And then you walked right through me
(Through me, through me)

And now you’re back, alive again
You brought a whole new breath
Of might-have-beens
Is this where you wanna be
Crawling on your hands and knees
You’re setting traps
It’s sink or swim

I had to fake your death to live again
Tell me what you want from me
‘Cause I remember everything
I’m still not sorry
No, I’m not but you should be
Zombie, zombie
You’re done now
You’re dead to me

I worshiped you with cult religiosity
Every lie and alibi you tried on me
Then one day you turned around
And then just ghosted me
The blank face just stared and it was done
I tried to bury you

But now you won’t disintegrate
You just dig yourself back up
And won’t stop haunting me
I’ll send a dagger through your heart
‘Till you let me be
Like you were never even there at all

You acted like you knew me
(Knew me, knew me)
And then you walked right through me
(Through me, through me)

And now you’re back, alive again
You brought a whole new breath
Of might-have-beens
Is this where you wanna be
Crawling on your hands and knees
You’re setting traps
It’s sink or swim

I had to fake your death to live again
Tell me what you want from me
‘Cause I remember everything
I’m still not sorry
No, I’m not but you should be
Zombie, zombie
You’re done now
You’re dead to me

And now you’re back, alive again
You brought a whole new breath
Of might-have-beens
Is this where you wanna be
Crawling on your hands and knees
You’re setting traps
It’s sink or swim

I had to fake your death to live again
Tell me what you want from me
‘Cause I remember everything
I’m still not sorry
No, I’m not but you should be
Zombie, zombie
You’re done now
You’re dead to me

And all this time has passed
You must’ve cast some spell on me
‘Cause I swear to God
That I’ve still got your smell on me
