I'll leave my body behind
Liver failing, teeth decaying
Tar and rye the cost
For drowning your tears in my skin
Constant blazing, bridges spade,
You guillotined my heart
a souvenir of trust
But I won't pray I won't fade,
I won't let these lungs give out
when you gazed at the sun
it made me blind
In these veins dark and plagued
grace and amnesty now flow
I write my burdens in sand
my blessings in stone
I'll cease my anger and pride
Rivers draining, winds of change
Though you had poison I died
I'll cremate these thoughts overdue
Ashes rising, grief subsides
I once built dreams about you
and through the smoke I'll scream
But I won't pray I won't fade,
I won't let these lungs give out
when you gazed at the sun
it made me blind
In these veins dark and plagued
grace and amnesty now flow
I write my burdens in sand
my blessings in stone
