lyrics

Holy death
Can't you wait
For the young
To have their say
By the time that we think to run
It's too late and our body's crumble
Just like quiet buildings at the dusk

In my mind
There's a place
Clean and sure like an easy day
So sorry that I left you out
I didn't think that you could last here
Living in a cold so pristine

Does it tear you up
To think of what you'd do
To stave off loss

All this complaining
Like workers saving
Up for vacations
To lush destinations

Future wound
Sacred past
I'd forgive you but it wouldn't last
Admit it, you are just as scared as me
To lose life and find out what it means to fall asleep and not wake up

I can't stop shaking at
The restless thought of you
And all I've lost

All this complaining
Like workers saving
Up for vacations
To lush destinations
