The Silver Lining
I say my piece, but nobody is listening
They've all got their own demons to face
But I've got time to be there, attending
To everybody else in this place
I carried everyone on my shoulders
I’ve been standing strong and stout
But taking on their burdens has made me old
And my back has finally given out
That’s where you’ll find me
Completely unread
At the base of the hanging tree
With a shell in my head
The gun’s freshly smoking
It’s begun to rain
The silver lining
I’ll never hurt again
One last request
Throw my ash in the sea
The silver lining
Is it means something to me
Digging My Own Grave
Shovel into the flesh of the earth
We make mistakes, but we don’t learn
The hole gets deeper, I’m the first to return
& wait for our rebirth
Man’s become a monster, a sin
Everyone’s blood is on everyone’s hands
We have become, in foreign lands,
An abomination
Situation is dire, we can’t be saved
So I’m in the desert, a prelude to all
Ready to lead us into the fall
Digging my own grave
Burning Bridges
Leave your things
Dust will settle
Memories
Are left to rust
This is my island
Floating alone
Thin rope bridges
To all that I’ve known
Severing ties
Burning bridges
I’m burning down buildings
Where nobody goes
Nameless sites
Abandoned cities
I’ll burn down a world
That nobody knows
Everyone
That used to live here
Fled their homes
To escape the blaze
Streets are bare
Things are haphazardly
Strewn across
The ashen roads
It has been
A full two years
Since it last rained
My kindling’s dry
Severing ties
Burning bridges
I’m burning down buildings
Where nobody goes
Nameless sites
Abandoned cities
I’ll burn down a world
That nobody knows
Everything
Is ripe and succulent
All I need
Is a match
These last two are just MORE complete versions - they're still not done yet.
Sleep well.
Ha! Love the die hard reference, once again very creative lyrics.
