Track 5 from the E.P. "Old Haunts" by The Empty Bodies
lyrics
These tired eyes will not sleep tonight, for they have seen the truth that I have held from the world, Building walls that were bound to fall, for one cannot hold these burden's I've endured.
Disassembled, for all to see.
Scattered in my wake are traces of, the hope filled honest man I used to be, overtaken, by vice and vanity, after a life of dead ends and empty hands.
Disassembled, for all to see.
Crippled I now lay, in this bed I made, undeserving of the love, I so often crave, guilt washes over me and life flashes before my eyes, shadows crawl ever closer, forming shapes that I recall, darkened portraits of all those that I have wronged, my punishment fits the crime, disassembled for all to see, disassembled for all to see.
Piece by piece I am now free, as I fall away, this is not a dream, this is not a dream, piece by piece I am now free, as I fall away, this is not a dream, this is not a dream.
The oceans rise, as fire fills the sky, a paradise in darkness, my kingdom come, the oceans rise, as fire fills the sky, a paradise in darkness, my kingdom come.
A solace overcomes me, that I could never find, disassembled, for all to see, disassembled, for all to see.
