Handbook For The Recently Deceased

I swear i felt the earth move
Do we still exist
My hands are grey and foreign
These sand beasts have a violent glare
We are just smoke and mirrors
Our substance, beneath the dust in our weddings finest
We die, and they live

I swear, you cast a lovely shade on my eyes
Its all in my head
We didn't survive

We die and watch them live, for 100 years (This is so surreal)
We die and watch them live, for 100 years
A soul dispossession, and we've been evicted
The life we were building, can no longer stand
We'll haunt with a vengeance
Persist through the ages
We just want our home back
Why won't you go

Will we be together
I think not, but hold my hand
Gazing into the star light
We know fright
Lets watch them squirm
Has it ever occurred to you that
There are things that can never be taught
And its not that they're faster or stronger
They're just born with a little extra
And when our time is over, we'll go hand in hand

I swear, you cast a lovely shade on my eyes
Its all in my head
We didn't survive

We die and watch them live, for 100 years (This is so surreal)
We die and watch them live, for 100 years
A soul dispossession, and we've been evicted
The life we were building, can no longer stand
We'll haunt with a vengeance
Persist through the ages
We just want our home back
Why won't you go

You're so beautiful
As you waste away
As we stand here with death
I will never forget

So grind the chalk against the wall and venture down the sideways hall
So grind the chalk against the wall and venture down the sideways hall

We find a way to live, for 100 years
I will never forget
