the catacombs

The dust of decades past
Passed around me like a bottle of wine
Whine (oh, oh, oh)
They whisper to me but
The feeling stops me every time (oh, oh, oh)
And you could never understand
And you could never know my plans
So once you think you get it, think it over
This is from the catacombs
There's too much noise when i'm alone
I hear your footsteps runnin' home
You don't know what you'll never know
This is from the catacombs
The skin i wear is not my own
I hear your footsteps runnin' home
You don't know what you'll never know
I search for meaning in the movement
But i can't escape time (oh, oh, oh)
Verisimilitude eludes me
To the end of the line (oh, oh, oh)
And i could write it all again
But you could never fold my hand
So once you think you read it, read it over
This is from the catacombs
There's too much noise when i'm alone
I hear your footsteps runnin' home
You don't know what you'll never know
This is from the catacombs
The skin i wear is not my own
I hear your footsteps runnin' home
You don't know what you'll never know
So let me set the scene
(try so very hard and i don't recommend it)
No one here wants me
(you can tell me i'm wrong but don't try to defend it)
Little do they see
(i tell 'em the truth and they all get offended)
Their whole world ends with me
(i wrote 'em a letter, i might as well send it)
This is from the catacombs
There's too much noise when i'm alone (all alone)
I hear your footsteps runnin' home
You don't know what you'll never know
(better run on home 'cause you'll never know, baby)
This is from the catacombs (oh, oh)
The skin i wear is not my own (not my own)
I hear your footsteps runnin' home
(better run on home now, run away baby)
You don't know what you'll never know
And maybe you didn't kill me
But you still left me for the wolves
The wo-uh-ho-uh-olves
And maybe you didn't see me
But you still left me cryin' on the porch
The po-uh-ho-uh-orch
And maybe you didn't kill me
But you still left me for the wolves
The wo-uh-ho-uh-olves
And maybe you didn't see me
But you still left me cryin' on the porch
The po-uh-ho-uh-orch
