lyrics

A terrible day retreating and my ankles,
They’re all torn.
Then the necks began to swinging,
So the hearts were exposed.
My wrists prove, and they open,
And I’m swimming in the bones.

Wittling into nothing, building bridges to the fourth.
Ripping in, from the Lincoln who brought it up to the north.
Hoping no one barely noticed what the dead have heard before,
This casualty has got them thinking
They'd better even up the score
Dead red, it’s all been said; you know it’s even borrowed.
Sad cast, to be the last, but at least you’re moving forward.

You have to explain about the injured,
And the taken and the scorned.
Your murderous mistress, became a binger,
And you can’t say that you’ve been warned.
Cause the morning finds her at the river,
With her pockets full of stones,
They’ll just have to remember to forgive her,
And keep on swimming in the bones.
