Roads Over Graves

about

how do you deal with loss?

lyrics

who let you behind my eyes?
control of fingers, actions mind?
who let me lay down and die?
who stole my rotting mask of flies?
who whispered to me a story thats been told a million times?
staring blank in deep reflection my face decays to lines

these lines decay to bone
these bones decay to black
grounded in a wasteland as broken thoughts come rushing back

black eye strain survive the night
red eyes in light grey morning decay
deathbed years with rusted gears
breathing deep exhaling cobweb fumes
bathed in white and covered in thread
dead sleep, believer, rest heavy head
no more pain no more guilt
tear down the house that sad hands build

constantly picking, scratching the wound
healing in time but not anytime soon

a gift from a ghost unholy host
every thought you live then die through haunted days
we watch as we grow we watch as we shed
breathe deep new breath for the long road ahead
