Bound to the trunk of a tree stretched out for miles

Casting a shadow on all I know of life

I can't seem to shake the thought

The light is taken by the hearse

Its a lesson never learned

Everyday is getting worse

I dissolve into the pain

Pour myself into the guilt

Hanging over me like skies of rain 

All the blood that I have spilt 

Carried you to heavens gate

I am forced to stay

A celebration

The finale of life

The marriage between

Soil and bride

The blood denies the rose

To carry only memories of loss

A vigil on the side of the road

Her body now belongs to the cross 

I am judged and set on fire

At the stand falling deaf to their cries

The bleating of a hundred voices

In unison asking me why

Why did I take a chance and gamble life?

Every sign points me back to the dorm

In my head you say I told you so

We should've left before the storm

The rain washes you away

Forced to stay
