There’s a den I built underground
I’d like you to come and see
It’s the only way for me to say
I’d adorn you with sticks and clay
I can see through your lovely bones
I can be all that you’re not
I can stab through your jugular
My hands aren’t big enough
I try not to make a scene
Maroon life bursting through my fingers
Have I done a beautiful mess?
There’s no time to keep you whole
Sum of your parts will do
I pray for a safe haven
II: The Journey
I wanted a long and happy life
I bid love a teary goodbye
I escaped this moving prison
And now I’m free from all the lies
All the burden in the world
Has left me exhausted
But a new place I have entered
And I claim this as my own, my own, my own
Come on and stop me
You can try to dissolve me
I feel the weightlessness of my new world
And now I’ve come full circle, circle
I am bigger than the universe
I am more than what you can see
What you can touch, what you can feel
I’m more than what you’ll ever be
III: Purgatory
Take his soul and put in this purgatory
No deeds will leave unpunished
Justice prevails
Now at the end
We assure death won’t let go
Rise on command
We’ll leave you, my friend
A better place to reside
Free from evil
Malicious beings from the rain
And we promise destruction
For all the hate
You’ve been put through
IV: Make Peace
So cold, that day
Chills to the bone
As you take my hand
Into the unknown
Yet I’m here, smiling
Impressed by the power
To reason, to pardon
To make peace.
