Already Dead Songtext / Lyric

She came up to me, bewildered and high
A young girl, with a hollow eyed face
Asked me 'sir, could you spare me a dime'
Couldn't remember the last time she ate
Well I gave her a frown when she looked at the ground
And told me she'd do anything
Neglected and haunted, it wasn't food that she wanted
I could tell by the look of her skin

I saw the signs on her arms, and that look in her eyes
And I wonder why I haven't told her
Maybe there's nothing to say that would make it right
And with the visions inside of her head
She was already dead

I once had a brother, though I called him my friend
Successful with the things that he did
But all the fame and the glory went up to his head
How could I've known I was only a kid
That the snow in his nose and the horse in his veins
Was a pleasure that only could kill
Broken and haunted, it was more that he wanted
Only living for the next precious thrill

I saw the signs on his arms, and that look in his eyes
And I wonder if I should have told him
But there is nothing to say that would make it all right
And with the demons inside of his head
He was already dead

You're better of dead, cause you're already dead !
