Distant memories buried long ago Rise from the grave to dance and play. Some are still sore when you poke at them Others have been romanticized. Flashbacks of a childhood cut short Innocence slain like a rabid dog. Places that were all burned to ashes People that now decompose in dirt. In my dreams we all laugh and smile And wander through the winding trails Holding hands in the endless cornfield But now the forest is empty and barren The corn has rotted and withered away. Somewhere out there a child is buried Every now and then I'll visit the grave Cut off chunks of flesh and sew them to my own So he remains sliced up and rotting Eternally bleeding from wishes unrequited.

Wishes Unrequited
Distant memories buried long ago Rise from the grave to dance and play. Some are still sore when you poke at them Others have been romanticized. Flashbacks of a childhood cut short Innocence slain like a rabid dog. Places that were all burned to ashes People that now decompose in dirt. In my dreams we all laugh and smile And wander through the winding trails Holding hands in the endless cornfield But now the forest is empty and barren The corn has rotted and withered away. Somewhere out there a child is buried Every now and then I'll visit the grave Cut off chunks of flesh and sew them to my own So he remains sliced up and rotting Eternally bleeding from wishes unrequited.
