Precious Bones

Oh lord, can you hear, my beating heart. Pulsing inside my chest, to be ripped apart. My swollen eyelids shut, mouth open wide. There’s just one final step, the noose tightens up. I only wanted to be someone else, I only wanted to be someone else. On the other side, there is no sound. No one calls your name, deep under ground. The colours fade away, to bleach all the scars. Inhaling all my fears, was never enough. Hands tied behind my back, limbs paralysed. Slowly escaping life, eternal demise. I only wanted to be someone else. I only wanted to be someone else. On the other side, there is no sound. No one calls your name, deep under ground. Heavy filthy mud, filling my lungs. Brittle precious bones, break and collapse. Close your eyes. You have never been alive. Close your eyes, there’s a devil on your side. Close your eyes, you have never been alive. Close your eyes, Close your eyes. On the other side, there is no sound. No one calls your name, deep under ground. Heavy filthy mud, filling my lungs. Brittle precious bones, break and collapse.

I watched you look through me, I’ve seen this all before, And I’ve watched with whom you speak, But I hide so you don’t know that.. And I even watch you sleep, It’s become to me a bore, As I rise triumphantly I take what’s left and run… Can it be its grown old? Inside of me no control, The past has been to me cold, But now you’re here with me. As I sit and watch you bleed, I give thought to those you knew and It then occurs to me that this happened before. Can it be you’re so cold? I haven’t been in control, I have released my black soul, And that’s why you’re here with me. I now condemn this body. I now must reap what I have sown. I can’t bare the thought of heaving earth… Anymore. Can it be you’re now home? Can it be you’re disowned? Can you be cold like stone? And now you’re here overgrown,
