Stripped Like Rats

from Five by Dead Days Reborn

lyrics

watch the sky, empty the river
watch my pain, empty myself
watch my dying, empty my life
watch my life, empty my death
every word that's ever said
every lie I've ever read
every tide I've tried to fight
every time I held too tight
every season holds me in
every day that's ever been
watch the sky, the river swells
watch my pain and lose myself
watch my dying, there I go
watch my life it wont go slow
every moment must go by
for everything must die

summer reminds me as autumn invades
coiled in my mother as a wolf in the shade
buried, transparent - the body is done
autumn has come, I walk into the sun

carried diseases of rats and of men
no one could see me, my mind stripped and thin
hungry, so hungry yet always unfed
when life didn't fill me, empty, my bread

live like that, feel like that, die like that
live like that, feel like that, die like that

this crucifixion had nails made of mud
the howling of wind like a banshee of blood
reach down inside me, extract every leaf
held in her old hands, she leaned in and breathed

live like that, feel like that, die like that
live like that, feel like that, die like that
