"GRAVEYARD SONG" lyrics

"GRAVEYARD SONG"

Awakened by a blaring notification
The contents of which
I have trouble remembering
The constant chaos keeps a brain a-rattling
Tweaking yet somehow desensitized

Watching the world burst into flames for no reason
Other than the fear that you were wrong about something
Fuck building bridges
Everybody start digging

A graveyard for the things that need to die
A graveyard for the things that need to die

Let it crash, let it fall
It doesn't do any good at all
When someone causes pain
And it's OK to push them away
Get unstuck and let the sun
Pull the flowers out of the mud

Someone gets a gun
Doesn't know why he shoots
It doesn't matter
Once the flesh is torn
It doesn't make a difference
If we all can say
Exactly how it got to be this way
Stop trying to explaining to me
Why I'm supposed to be forgiving
If you will not say you're sorry

Fuck all these people

A graveyard for the things that need to die
A graveyard for the things that need to die
A graveyard for the things that need to die

Let it crash, let it fall
It doesn't do any good at all
When someone causes pain
And it's OK to push them away
Get unstuck and let the sun
Pull the flowers out of the mud

Watching the world burst into flames with no reason
