Laid to Rest - Light This City

You attempt to find what you’re looking for in vacant corpses

Never understanding that you have to bury the things you love when they are dead

You’ve cut too deep

Let the dead lie asleep

Refuse to grasp the hand that breaks the ground from this shallow grave that

you have built

Don’t pull him through

He’s not who he was

You’re bleeding cuts are only keeping your betrayers alive

Why do you tear at your broken flesh and feed this hungry hell?

How can they redeem themselves for all the blood they’ve spilt

And when will you let the scars they’ve left heal?
