lyrics

don't you wish you could kiss and hold her?
every minute we're getting older
please remember when we're colder
i'll struggle for words but word never come
dumb tongues and their dumber languages
is this resolve or just persuasion?
heads turn to the sky searching for signs of life

every effort unrewarded
teach the dogs to whine
our lessons learned
we feel that burn
it lives inside our minds

is pain the way to gain
when no good thing can remain?
it's still tearing at our hearts
(we know)
don't we think we've had enough?
(well let go)

don't you wish she showed warmth and kindness
even when you act cruel and mindless?
please forgive me for all my blindness
i struggled to grasp but the grip never held
dumb limbs and their dumb pervasions
is this a visit or just invasion?
guns point to the sky searching for signs of life

every effort unrewarded
teach the dogs to whine
our lessons learned
we feel that burn
it grows inside our minds

is pain the way to gain
when no part of us can remain?
it's still tearing at our hearts
(we know)
don't we think we've had enough?
(well let go)

to some wretched off world home
where nothing lives and nothing grows
and all those cracks begin to show
how beneath every stone
there are layers of bones
piling on
and on and on
on and on and on and on

and all this life keeps piling up
is it enough to fill your cup
and reach in the chest
and grope for the pulse
and pull out the beating, rotting, burning heart of darkness

don't you wish she was close for comfort?
now all we know is the pain and the hurt
please excuse me for napping in dirt
we struggle to live but life never sticks
dumb fears and their dumb conclusions
is this the truth or more delusions?
ears press to the chest searching for signs of life
