Sky Burial

Every fear is manifesting A coward stands before me Transparent, I feel there's nothing I can do I can't stand idly by There are no whites in his eyes Only in a child's fist as a tear falls from the sky These embers turn to ashes, these ashes turn to dust. What would you want me to do? What would you want me to do? I am the man now we are family through and through You'll never understand that the bottle's taken over you Take another sip, take another sip When you're feeling down I hope you drown in it Take another sip, take another sip I hope you fucking drown in it And now a boy cries out Cries for his brothers hand Together they have the strength of a thousand men. My body is still My eyes are closed My bones are heavy My senses go numb. A soul deprived of the chance to live Haunting memories, suppressed and dismissed Under watching eye, her wings were stripped as you stood by When the almighty won't make a stand, I'll take things into my own hands The door bursts open splintering into wooden bits Revealing his hands held tight around her wrists Time stands still for now everything has slowed down It's not what I call love We have no common ground. This is a vicious cycle no one should live inside of Swinging blindly in the dark A son's promise unspoken The dastard flees the scene bleeding, beaten, bruised and broken My body is still My eyes are closed My bones are heavy My senses go numb. A soul deprived of the chance to live Haunting memories, suppressed and dismissed
