Regret (they buried him out back) Lyrics

I walked back home

Till the light shimmered down

I threw the rock across the field

He asked me where you'd been

But I am not your keeper

When lies were just tall tales

You were laying there lifeless

Skin on the bone

Your eyes were wide opened

But you wouldn't wake up

Rage

What a foreign concept

I hated you for so long

But now I feel just love, love, love

And so much regret

And he asked me where you were

Was I my brother's keeper?

Doomed to walk the earth

Footless

Mom and dad looked hopeless

Couldn't look me in the eye

And I wanna see your face

Outside of memory

And I wanna hear your voice

When its not screaming

The mark upon my forehead

Was glowing

And my name will be written down

In the book of sinners

Is there any hope for a wretch

Like me

Or for my poor brother

Trapped beneath the sand

His bones will lay
