Lyrics

Would you say that your life is strange?
Wisdom, pain and flow
All that I know is the sense of the gun in my face
And I cannot trust them anymore
Pen again, identity, we repent and retreat
Author of your sympathy has had enough to drink
I cannot down another truth
The story has to end before it’s all pretend
With no more to transcend
I’m coming home to life unknown
Without the records or the milestones
And they are terminus roads lined in black rose
The grave remembrances of people that I’ve known
Me the witness
Sew the doll in a mourning deadfall
Call him stitch puppy
All that I see is the look of the knife in your back
Which I could have tracked and foreseen
Stitch and bind in record time
No more than a crease
Sticking to the long goodbye
Guide them through their grief
The avatar of empty is some cold comforting
And I could help you mend
But I don’t want to pretend
I’m staying home but not alone
I have a backbone fused from the headstones
And I am terminus, deafened to their tones
The grace vibrations and sound hollows I’ve known
Me the witness
