Coffins

I gave my hand for oh you to hold
I gave my love that you went and sold
Exchange our song for oh another
Can’t blame this sad flame that once looked 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 stare even if it should all fall
You’re yearning, you’re dead when you hit the wall
I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call
How do you soften
The thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
Oh I never ever thought I’d hear these words be said
Now I lay here in my unmade bed
And your stomach is unable to be fed
Your ego swallowed you and from their you fled
So far away
Could not find your way back
Walked down your path
Where feet slipped through the grass
Where feet slipped through the grass
Could not find your way back
Where feet slipped through the grass
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
