Grass Grows in the Mouths of the Dead
Last night I was wandering
Looking for a door to open
That's when I heard you walking down the street
Your footsteps in time with the way I breathed
It was then that I recalled
How the grass used to grow so tall
But only in the mouths of the dead
So clearly I can hear you in the dark
The light that holds the life within your heart
It whispers of the moments before you were born
And all the hours you let go to waste
And the stillness without breath
Will return when you take your rest
Your borrowed dreams will join all of theirs
And the day that hasn't come
Will in time but you still are young
And the stillness without breath
Will return when you take your rest
And one day you may recall
While you grow so tall
As the grass in the mouths of the dead
In the mouths of
In the mouths of
In the mouths of the dead
Looking for a door to open
That's when I heard you walking down the street
Your footsteps in time with the way I breathed
It was then that I recalled
How the grass used to grow so tall
But only in the mouths of the dead
So clearly I can hear you in the dark
The light that holds the life within your heart
It whispers of the moments before you were born
And all the hours you let go to waste
And the stillness without breath
Will return when you take your rest
Your borrowed dreams will join all of theirs
And the day that hasn't come
Will in time but you still are young
And the stillness without breath
Will return when you take your rest
And one day you may recall
While you grow so tall
As the grass in the mouths of the dead
In the mouths of
In the mouths of
In the mouths of the dead
