Eulogy MMXX - Burn It / / Bury It Double A Side
For months, for years, I've been searching for peace of mind, for clarity I just can’t reconcile, with all the thoughts that keep on coming to mind So looking back at the progress, I've been searching for the truth Yet I'm still running round in circles And all trails lead back to you I should have known by now, you’ve always been there Oh save me and give my life direction To navigate these dreams and find days where I'm awake Cause now I know this is the path that I should take Against the grain, we carry on I swear I'll make you proud I was a pillar of hope, in the eyes of my mother She said look to the mirror, and son you'll find your answer Oh I will make you proud of me I swear I'll make you proud Live every breath in your footsteps, for now I understand I feel your presence beside me I swear one day I'll make you proud Oh save me and give my life direction To navigate these dreams and find days where I'm awake Cause now I know this is the path that I should take Against the grain, we carry on

We’ll take it back to the source Back to the heart of the problem Cut back the stem and dig it up from the roots Black blood, runs deep Through the earth past the mountains And down to the sea I won't wait for these ties to bind me To finish the noose... Ill carry on, i’ll cut lose And bury the parts of me that I left behind when I lost you Its clear to see that this is going too fast Going too fast maybe... I should slow this down but I don’t know how... And now I feel like a freight train get out of my way I’m coming of the tracks so move before its too late Time moves in mysterious ways But I’ve finally found the words So I’ll put them in a melody We will bend and we’ll break But id rather let it burn me than bury me... We will bend and we’ll break I’d rather that than admit this is happening... Oh it’s clear to see I just can't believe this is happening Digging dirt on my hands and knees As i search for salvation in the midst of this tragedy But now I’m just like winter Barren and cold with no love for the sun light Lsolated... and the silence is deafening Will I leave myself here to wither away... And in the darkest of nights I’ll pay with my bones to settle the tithe Oh, we are more than just flesh and bone We are more than just skin and soul Hear my words in the ebb and flow... *“Dear god, ill be my own reckoning “ Was it so easy to run? I feel the sadness surround me And Ive only myself to blame... I wish the way out, was easier to find It’s not the end, it’s the journey we take…
