More dead than Alive

Yes, I'm with you
Walking by your side
Following footsteps
More dead than alive.
My face radiant
Words somewhat snide
Chatting, then silent
More dead than alive.
And when my time comes
To take a final ride
Mask will be in place
For dead will be alive.

Yes, I'm with you
A saving grace
On your cart I ride
More dead than alive.
Wandering by instinct
Taking both sides
Mask well in place
Till dead will be alive.
