Erasure

Erasure From cradle to the grave You gave your life Red ochre drapes the fallen soldiers Left between a rock and a hard place to lie Way before their time Gutters in the gold, bleak Where mothers bled And the smell of death is nostalgia Cold, where freedom never rings But the rings are forever A bullet’s enough to keep their mouth shut Taken, cut Face in the dirt Carved up to serve the eye And what alone separates a child from stone? One’s dug up, the other’s in the ground to die All for blood, bones, power, lust Ravenous, your black hole mind Until your ominous world collides Blood, bones, power, lust Ravenous, your black hole mind Until your ominous world collides Underground, not a sound escapes And the only way out is down Like a tear Vanity drained from a dirt vein Clean slate No stain, the rock remains crystal clear Red in pieces Red in pieces All for blood, bones, power, lust Ravenous, your black hole mind Until your ominous world collides Blood, bones, power, lust Ravenous, your black hole mind Until your ominous world collides Cradle to grave A bullet’s enough to keep their mouth shut If they need a reminder Gem in the rough You make it clear-cut It’s worth more than a life A bullet’s enough to keep their eyes shut Rocks in their mouths You’re better off like a diamond Scattered in the ground Red in pieces Red in pieces Erasure From cradle to the grave, you gave your life Amnesia Gold and grandeur ate away at your mind Erasure, Amnesia Erasure From cradle to the grave, you gave your life

I ran so blind Into the blades of your life Gray and disguised And peeled my eyes As they unfurled The colors of your world cut like a knife Open wide Lesions unhealed absorbed the atmosphere And killed your fight Prism inside, crushed in two Devours light with you Cold arrival Cold arrival Sun on your face is gone and haunting me All of the ways that you’d alleviate Your heart, your head Dawn in the dark Oh, you radiate part of the soul that won't let you fade away (Away) Endure Cauterize the vein of memory That suffocates mirth of final days In crimson lakes Unearth the cage of my chest To bury you to rest There is no fight anymore, no Thought it would be a battle Not a war Let go of why you’re in a hole I know to hold on To who you were before Cold Arrival My visions, strong in my denial It’s so vicious when young life expires Still picture, wrong frame of mind I know to hold on To who you were before

No shoulder that won’t cut like a blade When they’re cold Turned their backs I beg them to take your words Off my chest, take them Take your worth from my headache In death Root of reticence You reign under the eyes Oh, you’re relentless Gripping the neck of my life Never again Only in death Only in death Will I cut your weight Out of flesh No, I won't take the pain Only in death When the sun would inhale All of breath cold Fade away, away Clawed Voices are crawling from regret I am cursed Stuck in reverse I’ll never forget your words Off my chest, take them Take your worth from my headache In death Erase into legend The pages I burn from within Fate of my confession Falls into earth from my skin Never again, no Only in death Only in death Will I cut your weight Out of flesh No, I won't take the pain Only in death When the sun would inhale All of breath cold Fade away, away Rest, lift the weight Only death could take your place
