lyrics

Various shades of mental illness,
Come creeping down the hall.
Numerous states of dilapidation,
Brace yourself for the big fall.

(Chorus)
This rain seeps in, into your bones,
Deep in your heart
it builds a catacomb.
Filled with mythic, chiseled figures,
Of clean and polished stone.

It’s a simple procedure,
Tiny coils wound in your brain,
You become a receiver,
Signals from the great beyond.

Find you strapped to a machine,
A web wires and cruel irony,
Hold you in the old world,
Away from our future
Like a prisoner.

Chorus

He said valentines is just for the florist,
Maker of sweets and sappy cards,
But dead noses smell no roses,
Lest you forget
And weep when she’s gone
And weep with regret.

And the junkies in the parking lot,
Skateboard around and round,
And this fog descends,
Into the rain soaked ground.
I’m amazed dumbfounded,
By the millions ways,
This world can tie you down.

Dreams emotions float free,
Completely untethered,
But we are bound to the
Cruel ground.

This rain soaks into,
Your brittle bones,
Deep in your heart
It builds a
Catacomb.
