COLLECTING THE DEAD

Take a look again
I know you’ve waited for me
Didn’t know when I’d come
But there’s no need to run- no need to run

You’re helpless as a child
Does it sit so heavy now?
You’re crawling on all fours
And I am at your door- I’m at your door

Them tombstone teeth in a cemetery
Givin’ a smile to grin and bury
Everything you knew
A ghost with nobody left to haunt
Nothin’ to fear, nothing to want
You’ve nothing left to lose

You want to see a light
Do you want to hear some noise?
Your heartbeats are numbered
Hear the last as you go under- As you go under

Them tombstone teeth in a cemetery
A skeletal smile to grin and bury
Everything you knew
A ghost with nobody left to haunt
Nothin’ to fear, nothing to want
You’ve nothing left to lose

Tombstone teeth in a cemetery
A skeletal smile to grin and bury
Everything you knew
A ghost with nobody left to haunt
Nothin’ to fear, nothing to want
You’ve nothing left to lose

A ghost with nobody left to haunt
Nothing left to lose
