Do you think that if I planted seeds in the graveyard Could I pull you up kicking and screaming the whole way Grasping at loose stones tearing at the dirt Insisting you’re gone that you never want to see yourself again Would the cold air be enough to convince you you’re alive If the oxygen in your lungs burn as they expand is that enough What if I pull your hand as you near the surface Would you settle long enough for me to pull you out I know you’ll be a mess and I promise I’ll bring a change of clothes You’ll shiver and cry but that’s ok because you’re still human You’re not dead yet so let me pull you back out Quiet yourself and let it take you ~W.C.

Not Dead Yet
Do you think that if I planted seeds in the graveyard Could I pull you up kicking and screaming the whole way Grasping at loose stones tearing at the dirt Insisting you’re gone that you never want to see yourself again Would the cold air be enough to convince you you’re alive If the oxygen in your lungs burn as they expand is that enough What if I pull your hand as you near the surface Would you settle long enough for me to pull you out I know you’ll be a mess and I promise I’ll bring a change of clothes You’ll shiver and cry but that’s ok because you’re still human You’re not dead yet so let me pull you back out Quiet yourself and let it take you ~W.C.
