Tombstone Lullibye

shelter my soul
from the struggling pain
or leave me out to die
in the mind raping rain
leave my body
just let me wash away
to the depths of hell
to my forewarned grave

here i am where i once thought of
dreams became my destiny
here i am where i never thought id end up
wont you say rest in peace

throwing rocks at the tombstone
each rock leaves a mark
every nitch swipes a piece of light
leaving you helpess in the dark
infatuated by the words
narrow, fat, short and long
regretting the ones i never heard
they never will be anything but wrong
the valleys cold and the fog sinks in
my eyes running left to right
i whisper my name without knowing
who is hearing it under the night
eyes are starained by the darkness
mind erupts in taunting fear
a mist of light shines upon my face
and suddenly everything is seen so clear

here i am where i once thought of
dreams became my destiny
here i am where i thought id never end up
wont you say rest in peace

open mind to the minds yet to be opened
open eyes to those who cant see
i give my heart to those who have had theirs broken
that heart never did anything for me
tears are the only thing missing
from my disregaurded soul
so many things i find myself wishing
while i lay in oak down in my hole

tombstone lullibye
with a sound that sings you to sleep
u go to sleep breathing
u wake up in your dreams
tombstone lullibye
with words etched so deep
deep enough to pierce a heart
deep enough to make a blind man weep
tombestone lullibye
words are muted as they are read
one minute your living your life
the next minute your dead

here i am where i once thought of
dreams became my destiny
here i am where i never thought id end up
wont you say rest in peace
