The Burial (Grave)

How can I lie when it's all that I think and
How can I lie when it's all that I know and
How can I lie if it just can't show and
How can I lie if I just can't lie? No

Why would I drink if I want to breathe and
Why would I blink if I want to see and
Why would I think if I want to sleep and
Why would I sink if I'm in too deep oh

My lips are sealed
Won't speak a word
As long as I'm here no

When what I feel
Just won't be heard
From under my tears no

And my
My body decays
But my
My spirit stays
You heard me
My body decays
You heard me
My spirit stays

How can I try if it's all that I want and
How can I try if it's all that I need and
How can I try when I'm just too weak and
How can I try when I just can't try no

Why would I choke if i want to speak and
Why would I joke if talk is cheap and
Why would I know if I've never seen and
Why would I go if I want to be home

My lips are sealed
Won't speak a word
As long as I'm here no

When what I feel
Just won't be heard
From under my tears no

Because I
I'm starting to fade
But I'm not afraid
All these lies I'm telling
Are not worth dwelling in

I'm starting to fade, my body decays
I'm hoping and praying my body will stay
But try as I may, I will disobey
My body forever will be in dismay
I'm lying to you, I'm lying to me
I'm overreacting perpetually
You will never remember, no, you'll never see
As my body's lowered, my skeleton breathes
The darkness is deaf, the darkness is blind
I promise the last thing you'll find is my mind
I swear that I'm here, I swear I'm alive
Please let someone hear my desperate cries
My skull is awake, my eyes can see clear
Puddles are forming in spite of my tears
Deafened by soil inside of my ears
Silence will be the last thing that I hear

And my
My body decays
But my
My spirit stays
You heard me
My body decays
You heard me
My spirit stays

You heard me
