The gravestones line the yard corpses hidden from the public’s eyes.
One man is dust in the lid, gravel in the eye, hidden from greedy fingers and I wait
Hoping for another moment with her
Hoping for one more smile
I cannot contain this feeling any longer
The tears do not fall but there is no anger only regret
Regret is the remittance of the few who lick their wounds when the sun doesn’t shine down
And I admit I am not the few who lick but am the majority of live to wait
For the door to open upon my own fate
Damn it all to heaven’s gate
Go go regret before it’s too late
And the crows scream murder
Murder. I cannot comprehend this second hand grasp for beauty
She was so young
With a fucked up face one eye rearranged to fit place
Braces on her teeth to catch the rapid space
This is death I knew it not until this moment
I have forgotten the punch line in this sea of shame
I remember her name and face but could I claim to know her heart’s beat
Could I claim to have been a confidant
Ignore once ignore twice forget the thought
Did I betray the one I loved
Murder on the high I see nothing gravel in my eye
Please withhold the casket so I cannot throw my body in
This is the beginning of good bye
Was there ever love between us or only granite skies
She has left me behind
She has left me behind.
