For one moment I lower to the dusty earth And find the graves were dug while I looked to the sky But I will fill them back up with the wine I fed your soul I'd rather see you dead than watch you unfold Clench the wound to seal it shut Just bite the wound, it'll be enough But the one road that leads out of the woods Is watched by many birds They'll never let me hide From the shame of the truth That water tastes like the stale air And the grass is a bed of nails So I'll drink the dirt and forget My journey's doomed to fail It's always doomed to fail I'm forever doomed to fail Clench the wound to seal it shut Just bite the wound, it'll be enough A dying beast crawls beside my feet Begging for the end, for one last final sleep But I can only stare and watch it suffer Truth lies in the sharp edge of my blade But if I strike, the image of the savior fades And your memory of me becomes a name I will accept your pain As long as I cannot claim it for my own I'm much too weak to suck the poison from your blood I'll let it spill into the cup we both drink from So I follow hope and shadow Deeper and deeper into the forest Letting any doubt be cleansed by darkness
