A Life, A Loss

from Grandfather by Chasing Nora

lyrics

Hold me like a vice or a flaw
Like one you can't stop committing
Even though it gives you pause
Hopefully it's just a phase
But it's hard to take the blame
When It's not my fault my blue veins
Appeal to this silver switch blade


Take time off my lifespan with a rusty spade
Am I digging a hole
Or am I digging a grave
Or is it just the same damn thing these days

And I can't get out of them
So frivolous
Talking about it all just makes people scatterbrained and chivalrous
While I'm shivering in the cold serpents slithering round my feet
Fold scales over my back and voldy offer me a Bailey Sweet
But I don't want it

Preaching stop it
Stop preaching
Preach to an atheist who
Shaves his wrist and
Locks his wits in a locket stop it
A dark heart brings up memories that
Should have been forgetten
Playing through scenarios in your mind
Because you could never drop it

Stop it

Put those thoughts below
The deepest penny in your pocket
Soon you'll be digging for copper coins
In the same holes dug
By the one who lost it

Soon you'll be digging for copper coins
In the same holes dug
By the one who lost it

I wont call you my friend
If you wont see me again
Anymore
