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
