smoke fell out of my mouth
the same way you fell
off the edge of this planet
and when i started this job
i thought it would distract me
from the reality of death
because if you're surrounded
by death, all the time,
does it really affect you?
the truth is, i walk past
your headstone and i pretend
you're just another grave
but you've never been anything
like the rest of them
or at all like i was back then
i'm stuck in this benzo haze
fading in and out of consciousness
(it's just another graveyard shift)
i hope if you were here
you'd still love me
(i didn't steal their souls)
i am the protector of all souls
i am only the thief of daylight
(son, it's your time to go)
