You've stolen the breath from my body As if I was more that just a corpse to begin with But I still fight I will rise from this grave & Bury my demons in my place At least for tonight they will stay silent At least until the moon sets over a grave I will eventually be forced back into & My demons walk amongst the living once more I hear their cries in the break of morning I run to you as they hunt me Seeking shelter & A certain comfort only family can provide As the world outside crumbles with chaos & The monsters that were once mine get closer I notice a strange familiarity to their return A sort of tragic comfort The same way I always felt around you In this realization, I set the house on fire with emotion & Trap myself in this home I have no way of escape So I let them drag me back under To a place where I belong They bury me alive & Instead of helping me fight my demons, You were trying to put out the flames on a house that had already crumbled & In all this destruction, It seems you were the only one who survived.

The Funeral
You've stolen the breath from my body As if I was more that just a corpse to begin with But I still fight I will rise from this grave & Bury my demons in my place At least for tonight they will stay silent At least until the moon sets over a grave I will eventually be forced back into & My demons walk amongst the living once more I hear their cries in the break of morning I run to you as they hunt me Seeking shelter & A certain comfort only family can provide As the world outside crumbles with chaos & The monsters that were once mine get closer I notice a strange familiarity to their return A sort of tragic comfort The same way I always felt around you In this realization, I set the house on fire with emotion & Trap myself in this home I have no way of escape So I let them drag me back under To a place where I belong They bury me alive & Instead of helping me fight my demons, You were trying to put out the flames on a house that had already crumbled & In all this destruction, It seems you were the only one who survived.
