lyrics

Jabbed the poker in my eye
Come the dark – no comfort for the blind
Tempted by a loving hand
That pulled the wool to cover up the plan
I can – I do – but now I don’t
Can you – will you – I expect you won’t

There is zero chance for hope
Sifting through the things that burned to smoke
Vows and meanings day by day
Vanish with the life that’s gone away
Take the ring – put it around my throat
Can you – will you – it’s the tale you wrote
In my barren broken head
All the things that could have been instead

Cross my heart and hope to die – pluck the needle wipe it dry
Now I lay me down to rest – and wait for dreams to manifest

Cross my heart and close the wound – much too late as I have been consumed
Now I lay me down to see just what these dreams will bring to me

In this aftermath so cruel
I realize how completely I was fooled
Beaten by that loving hand
Clawed away my reason strand by strand
Pour the dirt into the hole
You can – you did – cover up my soul
Walk away with what has been
As my mind replays again, again
