lyrics

I’ve got a foot in the grave
And the other walking away
From all of the spilt blood
From the cleared coffers
I won’t live out the rest of my life in chains
The chains of You, the chains of flesh
Around the ankle of every soul
Who learnt to bury their pain
Who stuck to the plan
And all it ever got them was an empty hand
The things you sold, and the price you paid
Means nothing through those dying eyes
They’ll walk over my grave
Unmarked, buried in age
The man who lost nothing
Left only with the things he bought
His only friends, his single love
All forgot


Every dagger, old betrayals
Hurts like cancer in the end
A bitter taste in a dead mouth
They had to pry the coin from his hand
He couldn’t take it with him, he never could
And maybe it comes to you before bed
A swooning, a cut up wrist
The certainty that nothing is going to be fine

Buried under wrecked trains
With blackened hearts
With pockets full of gold
treasure we can save
company in the grave
with each passing age
skeletons of the past remain
coarse and fell with shame
wasted lives with swollen eyes
and treasure we can save

in the strata we're all buried
hearts deterioriate
albatross of gold
shines on the rotted body
the grave robber melts it down
and fashions it to taste
but names die
fade out
pass away
no permanence
we're temporary
rain will fall
and wash it all away
wasted lives which we sold completely out
won't mean a fucking thing
no doubt
