Earth and Ash - Leeched

The stone walls on this hill are bleeding

All of the air escapes my mouth

Crushed by the weight of the ocean

These nights were ours

Now these bars hold no light

Push the blade and turn

The stone walls on this hill are bleeding

All of the air escapes my mouth

Churches for my kind

They crawl with spears

In packs to meet their charge

And time seeps away like a weeping wound

Tendrils of smoke crawling in my lungs

My ribcage takes the weight of the flames

Black blood congealing in the embers

A bond is formed in the ash

The trees, they become distant, they feel the longing

Footprints in the marsh where life flows no more

Dust on the pane where grandeur once reigned

A podium of grief

The sand is thinning out

It’s the end of the fucking wastes

I’ll take what’s rightfully mine

Only passive suffering, now a fantasy

Blood soaks both your eyes

Your bones melted by a crystal

Why can’t you understand that it’s just all gone?

Why won’t you take the last piece of my body?

Your abuse didn’t come cheap

Home is where the knives are

Crushed by the weight of the ocean

These nights were ours
