Coffins

I gave my hand for you to hold

I gave my love that you went and sold

Exchanged our song for another

Can't blame this sad flame that once glowed like no other

How do you soften

The thought of carrying coffins?

We were so alive

Only to see us wither and die

You say you'd stand even if this would all fall

You're yearning, yielded when you hit the wall

I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call

But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn

How do you soften

The thought of carrying coffins?

We were so alive

Only to see us wither and die

Oh, why must soil run dry

And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said

Now I lay here in an unmade bed

Empty stomach's unable to be fed

Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled

So far away

Could not find your way back

Walked down the path

Where feet slipped through the cracks

Where feet slipped through the cracks

Could not find your way back

Where feet slipped through the cracks

Could not find your way back

How do you soften

The thought of carrying coffins?

We were so alive

Only to see us wither and die

Oh, why must soil run dry
