As Written On The Epitaph of Anne Elizabeth


Lead the swarm through the mist on a string

When one falls down, we all fall down



I've got a thousand lies

A thousand reasons why I can't believe in this

You won't convince me

But your two faced lives, they won't be missed

And I'm tired of living in fear



As you knock, knock on the door

As we pretend nobody's home

We left the light on

And our minds off

And with the tick tock goes the time

And rearrange the thinks I thought were mine

You turn the light on

The dimmest light on



I hope you fall when you reach the edge

Or jump if you dare

Either way you stop breathing air

And look what you've left of me

Absolutely nothing



Let's play chess in the dark

So you can't see everything that you can really be

Is a board full of pawns with two hands behind you

Just to cover your eyes if someone opens the blinds



This sky is wide enough to swallow me whole

I'm leaving this behind tonight

I don't think you would understand

Can you hear the symbols crash just to deafen your ears?

So when they sneak behind you, the kiss of death you will never hear



Can I jump, jump over the edge

Without giving you a pledge

Turn your brights off

When the lights off

You joke broke the thorns

On a crown of scorn

I'll turn my light on

My own fucking light on



I hope you fall when you reach the edge

Or jump if you dare

Either way you stop breathing air

And look what you've left of me

Absolutely nothing



I'll save myself
