Coffins

I gave my hand for you to hold I gave my love that you went and sold Exchanged our song for another Can't blame, this dead flame that once glowed like no other How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins? We were so alive only to see us wither and die You said you'd stand, even if this would all fall Your yearning, yielded, when you hit the wall I shook your ears tried to make you hear my call But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins? We were so alive, only to see us wither and die Oh-whoa-ho-ho-oh, why Must soil run dry? And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said Now I lay here in an unmade bed Empty stomachs unable to be fed Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled So far away, could not find your way back Walked down, the path where feet slip through the cracks Where feet slip through the cracks Could not find your way back Where feet slip through the grass Could not find your way back How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins? We were so alive only to see us wither and die Oh-whoa-ho-ho-oh, why Must soil run dry?
