Revenant Lyrics

I regret digging you a grave so shallow

As if I await you shifting mounds of earth

As if I want you to wake up and gut me for it

But you will whisper at every pause on the turnpike

I am the one choked up on all the dirt and irony

I am yours, eroded and mute

You remain just beneath the surface, always

As your parents have with you

You have held your mother's pain aloft, a coronary refrain

Am I the skin you grafted onto all the wounds you didn't tend to?

Am I just flawed enough?

I cannot keep tracking mud through every home I enter

I cannot put you to rest until you grant me silence
