Amplexus - The Handbook For The Recently Deceased lyrics

rate me

I swear I felt the earth move<br />

Do we still exist? <br />

My hands are gray and foreign<br />

The sand beasts have a violent glare<br />

We are just smoke and mirrors<br />

Our substance beneath the dust in our wedding's finest<br />

We die and they live<br />

<br />

I swear you cast a lovely shade on my eyes<br />

It's all in my head, we didn't survive? <br />

We die and watch them live<br />

For one hundred twenty-five years<br />

We find a way to live for one hundred twenty-five years<br />

This is so surreal<br />

<br />

A soul dispossession and we've been evicted<br />

The life we were building it no longer stands<br />

We'll haunt with a vengeance.<br />

Persist through the ages.<br />

We just want our home back. why won't you go? <br />

<br />

Will we be together? I think not. but hold my hand.<br />

Gazing into the starlight we know fright<br />

Let's watch them squirm... <br />

<br />

Has it ever occurred to you that there are things that can never be taught? <br />

And it's not that they're faster or stronger, they're just born with a little extra<br />

When our time is over, we'll go hand in hand.<br />

<br />

I swear you cast a lovely shade on my eyes<br />

It's all in my head. we didn't survive? <br />

We die and watch them live<br />

For one hundred twenty-five years<br />

We find a way to live for one hundred twenty-five years<br />

This is so surreal<br />

<br />

A soul dispossession and we've been evicted<br />

The life we were building it no longer stands<br />

We'll haunt with a vengeance.<br />

Persist through the ages.<br />

We just want our home back. why won't you go? <br />

<br />

You're so beautiful as you waste away.<br />

As we stand here with death<br />

I will never forget<br />

So grind the chalk against the wall<br />

And venture down the sideways hall.<br />

<br />

We die and watch them live<br />

For one hundred twenty-five years<br />

I will never forget
