Coffins
I gave my hand for you to hold
I gave my love that you went and sold
Exchanged our song for another
Can't blame, this dead flame that once glowed like no other
How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive only to see us wither and die
You said you'd stand, even if this would all fall
Your yearning, yielded, when you hit the wall
I shook your ears tried to make you hear my call
But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn
How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive, only to see us wither and die
Oh-whoa-ho-ho-oh, why
Must soil run dry?
And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said
Now I lay here in an unmade bed
Empty stomachs unable to be fed
Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled
So far away, could not find your way back
Walked down, the path where feet slip through the cracks
Where feet slip through the cracks
Could not find your way back
Where feet slip through the grass
Could not find your way back
How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive only to see us wither and die
Oh-whoa-ho-ho-oh, why
Must soil run dry?
I gave my love that you went and sold
Exchanged our song for another
Can't blame, this dead flame that once glowed like no other
How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive only to see us wither and die
You said you'd stand, even if this would all fall
Your yearning, yielded, when you hit the wall
I shook your ears tried to make you hear my call
But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn
How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive, only to see us wither and die
Oh-whoa-ho-ho-oh, why
Must soil run dry?
And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said
Now I lay here in an unmade bed
Empty stomachs unable to be fed
Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled
So far away, could not find your way back
Walked down, the path where feet slip through the cracks
Where feet slip through the cracks
Could not find your way back
Where feet slip through the grass
Could not find your way back
How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive only to see us wither and die
Oh-whoa-ho-ho-oh, why
Must soil run dry?
