Lyrics
Handbook For The Recently Deceased
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I surrendered
Became what I am not
A false facade of splendor
Led me here to rot.
On your back you showed what you were worth
And that lie spoke a thousand words
Where is your righteousness?
Just point your finger backwards
Where is the splendor and grace I had known?
In light of this deception
I fear this filth is now my home
I have abandoned all hope
Because only the dead don't lie
With the beast of our memories
We are just wasting time
I have abandoned all hope
Because only the dead don't lie
With the beast of our memories
We are just wasting time
Souls torn, ravens flap and faith had left forever
Before me now is anguish for beauty tethered
There is only evil inside all this pain
One shroud of remembrance will always bear this stain
And though I beg forgiveness for what I became
I never knew why beauty was in chains
Are there no reasons or even words at least?
Our time is out of season
It's buried with the recently deceased
I have abandoned all hope
We are just wasting time
I have abandoned all hope
Because only the dead don't lie
With the beast of our memories
We are just wasting time
I have abandoned all hope
Because only the dead don't lie
With the beast of our memories
We are just wasting time
