Beyond such veils of life and death
My heartbeat stutters in the thoughts that coalesce
Paralyzed in a fever dream
Return to static as the stars collapse on me
Erode my frame and forge ahead
This bed a grave the soil sets
Transcend my body one last breath
A ghost forever In egress
So slip away
As I feel my bones
Start to degrade
Am I wide awake?
Will I be wandering
Through endless shades of grey?
The taste of rust
Spewed from iron lungs
The crawl of days
Marching to my grave
I will bury my pain
The taste of rust
Spewed from iron lungs
The crawl of days
Marching to my grave
I will bury my pain
I will bury my pain
So slip away
As I feel my bones
Start to degrade
Am I wide awake?
Will I be wandering
Through endless shades of grey?
These days I grit my teeth
Far from gates of ivory
Sleep like bones in sour soil
Reframe the memory
These days I grit my teeth
Far from gates of ivory
Sleep like bones in sour soil
Reframe the memory
Gate Control
So slip away
As I feel my bones
Start to degrade
Am I wide awake?
Will I be wandering
In endless shades of grey?
