​rotting in dirt - You or a Loved One

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1982708
Eading down the bones divulges their host
I can still feel your shape in their ivory curve
Dense and unflinching, guarding your heart
From all but the erosion of time

Inevitable, the clouds grow like tumors
In a density that mocks every effort to preserve a shred of joy
Immemorial, time slows to a crawl
Push my teeth into the dust
Kicked up around me by a world unchanged

A constant tear in the horizon, unraveling a single thread
Every moment of bitter stillness
Punctuated by the words I wish I'd said
All I know is all I have, all I know is all I have

Ceremonial ties to formless deities
Malice woven through uncertainty and absolution

The joy in motion flips the switch on a torrent of kinder moments
Every blink of an eye, a reminder, a countdown, twitching away
Forever approaching the inevitable

The veil of loss hangs heavy
Its putrid air scrapes the length of my throat
I'd erase everything, give my every breath
For the comfort of your presence
Tear me to ribbons, don't leave me alone
Tear me to ribbons, don't leave me alone
Tear me to ribbons, don't leave me alone
