MisterWives - Coffins lyrics
rate meI gave my hand for you to hold
I gave my love
That you went and sold
Exchanged our song for another
Can't blame this sad flame
That once glowed like no other
How do you soften?
The thought of carrying coffins
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
You say you'd stand
Even if this would all fall
You're yearning, yielded
When you hit the wall
I shut your ears,
Tried to make you hear my call
But you were long gone,
No hope in a sunless dawn
How do you soften?
The thought of carrying coffins
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
Why must soil run dry?
And you never ever thought
I'd hear these words be said
Now I lay here in an unmade bed
Empty stomach's unable to be fed
Your ego swallowed you
And from there you fled
So far away
Could not find your way back
Walked down the path
Where feet slipped
Through the cracks
Where feet slipped
Through the cracks
Could not find your way back
Where feet slipped
Through the cracks
Could not find your way back
How do you soften?
The thought of carrying coffins
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
Why must soil run dry?
