Even the Earth Might Eat Me Alive


It was a shame to see

a shame to speak

but guilt was at it's peak 

so the dirt let me be

 

Right below the dirt

I buried mysself on shame

but who was I to blame

the winter always came late

so I layed beneath the dirt 

 

No sun saw me be

no moon saw me smile

only the dirt let me be

No blame on me tonight

no blame on me forever

Im just hidden in the drought

but to be alone must be a thought 

who stirs on lower 

must be a stranger to the night

alone to be

alone to frown 

alone to die in anger, of the the world who saw no less.
