Cemetery Wander

Graves beneath my feet

Dead grass and dead memories

These are the stories of the recently deceased

17 years old I still remember the day

My life changed when I lowered a child into the grave

Her mother stood over her, cuffed and chained

With her moment of silence, this is what she said

I love you little angel, I didn't mean what I did

No I love you's brought anyone back from the dead

They walked her out of there, shot gun in her back

I have so many memories and a lot are worse than that

Dead in my arms

We've already been there

The soldier that took his life, in front of his wife

She watched a bullet leave the back of his head

Life just isn't right

We did an open casket for him that day

When I close my eyes I can still see his face

I'm not saying life is pointless

In the context of time and space

We are not important

Find what you love, hold it close

Make the most of it

Two teenage couples out on graduation night

Celebrating all the things ahead of them in life

My morning was three teenagers in the reefer

One in ICU but death still got to her

I saw her ghost in the cemetery later that same day

Blonde hair pulled back, I know it's cliche

Cemetery wander and I remember every body I put in the ground

Three bodies a day for three years

I've got so many ghosts around

I laid my hands on every single one

I knelt and prayed with their loved ones

I locked the casket when it was done

Let's give in to our true nature

Turn on the ones you love

Eat the young

I have baggage

I have demons

You don't want to met them

You don't want to see them

I laid six souls in the ground that day

That's why they stick to me

I just want you to hear it

I just want you to feel it

You know I'm laughing at these lyrics

I just need you to get it

I just need you to live it

And never forget it

I just want you to cringe

So think twice about reading this

Cemetery wander and I remember every body I put in the ground

Three bodies a day for three years, I've got so many of ghosts around

I laid my hands on every single one I knelt and prayed with their loved ones

I locked the casket when it was done

Cemetery wander and I remember ever body I put in the ground

Three bodies a day for three years, I've got so many of ghosts around
