lyrics
We die in the desert for the dollar we know.
with broken, bloody shovels and a heart ready to blow,
we fall through the ceiling and break the new divide,
while the shotgun is singing and leaves us all to die.
And the melody is ringing, while my guitar loudly aches.
and my heart won't stop beating, and my bones will soon break.
My love is a cancer, that bites down to the bone.
and your hate chews right through me, and leaves me all alone.
The heat is so intense, when the sand starts to blow,
it knocks us right over, like the words that you've told.
The disease is so furious, you surely won't last--
I didn't you know for long, but that's in the past.
I will always remember the words that you've told--
"take care of my son", he said, when he got too old.
March first he left us, with his face in the ground.
He pushed on for so long that his heart had to drown.
It collapsed on itself, under it's own weight.
A love so strong his bones simply could not take.
They succumbed to the pain and with aching last breathe
he let go, finally, at long last.
I can't let you go.
You are the princess, you are the kingdom's crown.
Your smile steals the coffin and buries it in the ground.
Your words are the weapons that cause the mortal wounds,
I am lost without you and without you I will lose.
what is left of me, my identity, will cease to be.
my pain comes to a close and stops the flow.
can you stop the blow? can you stop what's going on?
"I will always wait, I promise; don't you know that love is honest"
I am cool, so cold, and I am so gone.
Your winters's eve turns into a summers's dawn.
The days become the years and we all soon forget,
the sadness i've stomached without regret.
You were worth all the heartache that I had to bare,
you were there when no one else seemed to care.
I will remember all the days that we have shared,
just remember, you were worth all of the despair.
You are the princess, you are the kingdom's crown.
Your smile steals the coffin and buries it in the ground.
Your words are the weapons that cause the mortal wounds,
I am lost without you and without you I will lose.
("I will always wait, I promise; don't you know that love is honest")
what is left of me, my identity, will cease to be.
my pain will come to a close and stop the flow.
can you stop what's going on.
