Headstone Lyrics

Digging up the roots in the forest where I am from

Breaking down a wall to find myself behind another one

I'm gone, so long

This won't be goodbye

I just can't stick around here, I'm too scared to die

Asleep beneath the sun, don't let the moon slip away

Hide from my brain, I'm the one who has to deal with being crazy here

This loop that I'm in goes from numbness to spiders all over my skin

I'd rather be alone than freezing

Stranded with my own worst demons

I'm better on the road

I feel it in my bones

I'm not looking for a home for my headstone

I am distance, engrained when I was born

I am motion, a constant back and forth

You see these endless skies beneath my eyes

The landscapes I cross, the mountains I climb

That is my heart on every eastbound freight train

Moving like drugs through these westbound black veins

I will never feel, I will never feel safe

I know I'm going to break

I'd rather be alone than freezing

Stranded with my own worst demons

I'm better on the road

I feel it in my bones

I'm not looking for a home for my headstone

With a heart that's cold, I'm a monument so old

It's nothing I don't know

The vines are overgrown

But I'm not looking for a home for my headstone

The galaxy and her arms, covered in freckles and scars

I'd rather be alone than freezing

Stranded with my own worst demons

I'm better on the road

I feel it in my bones

I'm not looking for a home for my headstone

With a heart that's cold, I'm a monument so old

It's nothing I don't know

The vines are overgrown

But I'm not looking for a home for my headstone

I'd rather be alone than freezing

Stranded with my own worst demons
