Tomb
And I won't hold the basin, I just let the venom fall
Bound in the flesh of all your failures
We shed the wings when they lead us to burn
Cut free the hand before what's left has time to turn
This is your tomb
Your car crash life is on black ice
And all the barriers have been pulled
There's no flares, there's no road
Just a catapulting world of nowhere
This is your tomb
And I won't be sealed within
When I'm standing outside
I've pushed the stone in place
So I won't smell your own decay
And when you rise, if you rise, you'll be alone
To push the stone and find there's no one left
No one left but you
This is your tomb
Bound in the flesh of all your failures
We shed the wings when they lead us to burn
Cut free the hand before what's left has time to turn
This is your tomb
Your car crash life is on black ice
And all the barriers have been pulled
There's no flares, there's no road
Just a catapulting world of nowhere
This is your tomb
And I won't be sealed within
When I'm standing outside
I've pushed the stone in place
So I won't smell your own decay
And when you rise, if you rise, you'll be alone
To push the stone and find there's no one left
No one left but you
This is your tomb
