Ossuary Lyrics

Where did they all go?

Has each one been slivered?

The bright luster once possessed,

Seems too far away now

Each scenery bled from me

Beautifully pooled

Never one for faces

Plenty in the ossuary

Shaped grins bear less

Endless elements to form

Works of my conflict

Pangs ring within each one

Were they a distraction?

Siphoning what remained

They couldn't be for nothing

I feel it was all for nothing

Do they all remain here?

Bodies long laid to rest

They must still be waiting

Time to wake them up

Her laugh left its sting

Like a deepened splinter

No endeavor has numbed it

Maybe I always wanted it

Much has been left behind

Far too much to forget

Is it something I can still find?

Am I nothing without it?

Do they all remain here?

Have they been exhumed?

Bodies long laid to rest

Left in mounds, they slowly rot

They must still be waiting

Has their time been misused?

Time to wake them up

Time to lift them up

What if they're only ash?

Could they still be shaped?

Displaced, an impostor

Feels like I've already escaped

The path before me

Unclear in its motive

May be blind to them

May find them lackluster

Begging for release

I cannot quiet their pangs

Relinquished from me

Are they freed from the fangs?

Because if I can't stay here, and if I don't have a home

I'll find my Xen in the stars, and crawl, tooth and claw, to what's waiting

I've danced this dance before, my feet bled from this sickening waltz!

Find me, don't find me!

I just want to bring back who I was

What brought me here and nowhere else?

How should I have done this?

What was the right way to die?

The climb, the loss, the sun,

and now forced penance

The Climb

The Loss

The Sun

Bring me to her light, let me beg for her gaze

I'm not the man I was before, and that's all of mine to blame

See me now, see me now, the shell standing here is cracking

The structure is shaking, the metal, bending!

Ossuary

Who holds the key?

Shallow graves hold vapid slivers

Dredge or drown?

Have they become marred?

Revived?

Will we escape the carnage?

Survived.

Will the drowning pursue?

The Dive

Will the earth be lifted?

Alive

Have they been exhumed?

Concrete brain!

Left in mounds they slowly rot

Paper body!

Has their time been misused?

Paper mind!

Time to lift them up

Concrete man!

Sever mind and body

Pull tooth from root

Rip crown from claw

Disconnect!

Back to the Dancing Desert

No more tarnishing winds

Foundation laid bare
