lyrics

i heard you died in your grave
waiting for an escape
from the ghost of that man
who you were too afraid to save

we keep our feet off the ground
in case you're wondering
i hold my head below surface
to mute your screams
cause i can't find any reason
reason enough
to fight for the good cause
it's not the cause i don't trust

i thought i forgot what you looked like
i couldn't picture you in my head
i never knew what you looked like
you were just an image sleeping in my bed

filled with grace she turned off my mechanical heart
and i felt you for the first time
and through god and through sin
i saw where you live in the dirt

with the roots and the worms
tell me do you get lonely?
tell me does it hurt?

do you remember
when i was your father
when i told your secrets
and you refused to love me
