lyrics

Underneath the green grass lie your bones
Wrapped in bitter tears
Brooding on memories

A broken but safe home
Dreamcatchers line the walls
But nightmares have their own backdoors

You never said goodbye
Or counted your final breaths
You didn't see the smoke
Drifting down the hall

Floating above the carnage
Cold toes wrapped in soot and char
Naked in hot skin

False hope and false moons
Your silence screamed night and noon
Chiding our prayers calling you home

You never said goodbye
Still waiting to regret the days
Your face was proud and bare
Ready to die alone

Each speckle of dust bursts into a flame
And I'll soon forget where you came from
Light the candle at both ends
Raise the voices 'til they soar
Hearts lift the sky, there the deities
From the rubble of your corpse
I'll choose only the best
Somewhere inside there's a wish bone
I'll take it in my hand
Walk the miles through the grass
Look out to the sea
There your spirit is free
