Gravestone Graveyard Lyrics

Now my fears are coming clear

The severed headstone above what lies beneath

A box engraved with your name

This tombstone tells wonders

A collection of dates

And often quite ostentatious

Manifestation

Of the shell inhabited by this mask of a man

I've seen the pit they dig

A new perspective to put you in

Still it's almost as if I knew you

Metal petals and all

You embodied the body of someone I used to know

It took me by surprise

To see myself inside

Yesterday your iron rose sounded so clear

Serenity save the souls of all who sleep here

It took me by surprise

To see myself inside

To see myself alive

For the first time

Some of these stone catacombs are closer to me than I know

My mausoleum isn't built, but I saw them dig a hole

A finalized perspective perceptive of who will be inside

Alive through the memories inscribed

It's time

My final steps across the plot

I realize you've gone

And so will I

I'm learning how to say goodbye
