Lyrics

Deathrattle

Every breath’s a splintered bone
Gravel in my throat
your name grinds down to dust
Every breath is splintered bone
every step, a widening fracture

I bite down on rust
I bleed into the earth
I watch her house cave in
a daughter left breaking in the recoil.

The ground split when you fell

I replay the moment she missed
did her hands search for mine?
The world remembers your name
but its only a matter of time
She feels the weight persist
The questions; no one answers mine
She sees you in the mist
I see the pain behind her eyes

blanket curled like dry leaves
And the bedding holds your shape
Her fingers trace the worn seams
Threads hang like broken veins

Mouth of glass
Cuts every time she talks
Bleeding onto empty walls
Nothing there to hold her words

Hands tied to the coffin
dragged through the weight

Mouth of glass
I want to hear you speak
Hands tied to the coffin
