Nothing Like the Rest

I know I can't hide anymore
I know what's outside of the door
They say you're safe in the eye of the storm
Still breathing
But I don't feel alive anymore

Is death the passive absence of life
Or something else?
The active inverse of purpose
Workin within our cells?
Is it like hittin a wall
Or is there another side?
What if you happen to pass
And come back across the line?
Cuz in the deadest eyes
Lies a depth I recognize
When the lights are on
But it's only the devil left inside
Growth and decay - forever parallel and yet
Despite separate destinations
Somewhere they'll intersect
This road ain't made for comin' back
We're drivin' up a one way
Post-apocalyptic path
I had to take the long way
Least we took the scenic route
See these people geekin' out
Now that shit has hit the fan
No fear to let the demons out
Cards are dealt, check your hand
Deck is rigged, no second chance
Stack the odds, place your bets
Go all in and bank on death
Real estate is boomin', got no room in Hell
So the dead'll walk the earth
Wanna join? Might as well
When all the heavens fell, I guess I felt
Like I could drop the act
And ever since I've been myself
The world is over
But I've known it from the start
Though I don't believe in God
I'm a Noah on his Ark
(Floating through the dark)

I feel alive, when I walk among the dead
Embrace the night, so I never feel regret
Oh lord, oh lord
Just a shell of me that's left
No more, no more, I'm nothing like the rest

I've been searching
And met so many survivors
But not a one of 'em, was as hungry as I was
Never thought myself a fighter
Till I was humbled and lifeless
And then I found my people
Seekin' a spark to ignite us
Watch as we go off together
Fuck the talk, the walk is better
Gotta keep my flock together
All succeed or fall together
I've seen much rougher weather
Now we will ruffle feathers
Unstoppabe, I'd be shocked
If the wrath of God could get us
A part of me wants to be on this road alone
But if an apocalypse has taught
Me anything at all i cannot go on my own
Rocked by the trauma in my bones
I don't wanna settle down
Long as I'm with the squad i'm home
Cuz we're nothing like the rest
And I guess the difference is
We're the ones willing to
Set aside our differences
All the dead can witness this
I mean what's a better friend
Then the one who'll let you rest
But won't let you get up again
The end's the end
And learning that was tough
Cuz once the demons come
They're gonna have your lunch
A feast of flesh and bone
Goddamn we've had enough
But just when you think it's done
They'll be comin' back for blood

I feel alive, when I walk among the dead
Embrace the night, so I never feel regret
Oh lord, oh lord
Just a shell of me that's left
No more, no more, I'm nothing like the rest
I feel alive, when I walk among the dead
Embrace the night, so I never feel regret
Oh lord, oh lord
Just a shell of me that's left
No more, no more, I'm nothing like the rest
