I wake to a silent room and empty space
Crowded by the thoughts that I never got to say
A feeling in my heart-- she's safe
Will never ease the tide of pain in my mind.
I'll gather up the keys, my love,
To every piece of my insecurities.
I will taste your lavish lips tonight
And bury you selfishly for the second time...
A hum erupts from the dirt mound
As we paint over our eyes.
Sing to me spirits, I've done all you've asked--
Together we'll rise from the nest.
I beg and borrowed, I stole and cheated my wife and family.
My pain is torture and I deserve it,
Can I deserve you too?
You rose from the ground,
Squeezed the blood from my palms.
A choir of voices howling loudly all around me.
You crawled from my mind right back into your skin.
You coughed and you cursed
Hands dug into the dirt.
I screamed and prayed to Him
To take you back where you came from,
But your eyes caught mine- this time it wasn't right.
Buried my head in my hands and I moved on
I felt as empty as your tomb,
I felt as empty as you.
Turned your blood back to dirt again.
Lay me down where your body rests,
I'm dying just to hear your voice
Turned your blood back to dirt again.

Why it's a great record? Let's start with the fact that the dudes that made it are some of the most honest, persevering, heartfelt dudes we've ever met. Second, their music rips, man- listen. Moses
