Consumed By The Earth

It's simple and optimistic to think that we're all lucky to be alive For someone like me whose luck ran out Tie a rope around my throat , it's the only way I'd bring you joy I wear these scars Jagged artwork to pull apart Mind from body, heart from soul Live a life of giving nothing more I can't forget the things I learned from a once great friend and the respect he earned I watched my hope for humanity lowered down and consumed by the earth Lowered down and consumed by the earth He'll never leave me He'll never leave me I still hear him He's not the only one If he's happy there then I should join him He repeats the words you speak Did it mean the same to you, or was it to hide the truth? Still by his bed remains a broken picture frame The memories wither away I would place his suffering upon myself if it meant that he could reclaim who he was before I have much less time and he's my reason for being He needs to guide but his light is depleting A hopeful message to my only son As I come to grips with who I really am I watch all of my fears sink into the ground, enclosed in a casket And if offended by the right hand, then cut it off and start again
