Built on Graves Lyrics
I close my eyes to see what's real
But there's nothing, there's nothing there
Screamed at this world, both arms outstretched
It just laughed and I coughed blood
I've waged a war that I can't win
And all these walls are closing in
Could it be me, could it be so
That sour taste is letting go
I looked above, I searched the skies
For a silver lining, for a reason why
Every word I said, I fucking meant
I can't press rewind, I can't take it back
I've waged a war that I can't win
And all these walls are closing in
Could it be me, could it be so
That sour taste is letting go
I can't win
This life's a path built on graves
Of those who tried and died before
As they soared towards the sun
They burned their wings and they were gone
And they were gone
But there's nothing, there's nothing there
Screamed at this world, both arms outstretched
It just laughed and I coughed blood
And all these walls are closing in
Could it be me, could it be so
That sour taste is letting go
For a silver lining, for a reason why
Every word I said, I fucking meant
I can't press rewind, I can't take it back
And all these walls are closing in
Could it be me, could it be so
That sour taste is letting go
This life's a path built on graves
Of those who tried and died before
As they soared towards the sun
They burned their wings and they were gone
And they were gone
