Tripping over Tombstones Lyrics
He who hesitates is lost, against the grain, no matter the cost.
Many hands make light work
You’ll get cut short with my words!
In the end you know a pilot in the storm,
Hope you die well
Its fucking farewell.
The chip on your shoulder looks heavy as Hell.
I hope you’re blackballed
You’re fucking stonewalled
You thumb your nose at all you’ve learned.
Just turn you back as bridges burn.
In my heart I’m a war
Tripping over these tombstones
In my heart I’m at war
I keep tripping over these tombstones
It’s your fucking final hour.
I’ve laid out my tattered heart.
Into the blinding light.
To avoid the dark
What did I fall into?
I’m through,
You’ve skewed the view.
Sometimes salvation ain’t but a door away… from you.
There’s no saving grace, we’re at a crossroads
You don’t know, you don’t know me at all, know me at all.
Fucking Farewell
This is war.
Fucking farewell.
Fucking Farewell
Many hands make light work
You’ll get cut short with my words!
In the end you know a pilot in the storm,
Hope you die well
Its fucking farewell.
The chip on your shoulder looks heavy as Hell.
I hope you’re blackballed
You’re fucking stonewalled
Just turn you back as bridges burn.
Tripping over these tombstones
In my heart I’m at war
I keep tripping over these tombstones
I’ve laid out my tattered heart.
Into the blinding light.
To avoid the dark
What did I fall into?
I’m through,
You’ve skewed the view.
Sometimes salvation ain’t but a door away… from you.
You don’t know, you don’t know me at all, know me at all.
This is war.
Fucking farewell.
Fucking Farewell

Dez said in an interview:
"Tripping Over Tombstones" is a declaration of war and farewell to debilitating ghosts of the past. "Tackling life in general, you just gotta leave some things behind and often times you will be tripping over tombstones. You just gotta keep on keeping on. It was one of the ones I kind of looked back on my past and wrote about. There's only a few of those kind of tracks on this."
