EARLY GRAVES LYRICS

1. Goner

let me die
let me die and be done with this before I change my mind
and Im sorry, I cant wait
Id rather just spray the walls at the back of my head
and no, I dont care
Id rather you just forget me now. dont waste your memories
I just cant be here anymore
everyone that Ive ever loved Ive failed
everything I touch just turns to shit
I never could change a thing I swear
what I mean to say is that Im a gone gone goner
I hear the sirens call my name
too many tears that I had to make
just leave me where I lay
Id rather burn out than fade away
too many hellhounds on my trail
just let me die
just let me go
let me die
let me die and be done with this before I change my mind
and Im sorry
I cant wait
Id rather just spray the walls at the back of my head
IdontfuckingcareIdontfuckingcareIdontfuckingcareIdontfuckingcare
dear anyone that Ive ever loved,
Ive let you down
dear anyone who ever needed me,
Ive let you down
dear anyone whoever though I could change,
Ive let you down
dear anyone who'll ever read this note,
Ive always let you down

2. Faith is Shit

you said it would be best if we left it up to god
I said you see this glass, this empty heart, they'll never be thawed
all hell is is all right now and Ive never felt more at home
so fill this up my lonely cup that has never or will be good enough
dont save me
you said that you could be saved if you let him in your heart
I shrugged and said I could never tell heaven and hell apart
you asked what happens at the end of our life
I said hell is a hangover and heaven is an endless black night
dont save me
so save your worthless prayer
for yourself
for yourself
for yourself
dont save me
your faith in faith is shit
you'd rather spend your whole life down on your knees
Id rather spend it forgetting it all
Its all the same to me

3. Old Bones

Ive ground them down to dust and scattered them to the wind
Ill keep burying them so that I can pretend that
I wont come home to find them screaming in my closet of how much Ive sinned
goddamn these old bones
goddamn these old bones
feelings of regret, piling up too much debt waiting for death like a blessed sunset
Ive said this time Im prepared for hell
Ive said this time I want no farewells
Ive said this time Ive already resign
Im out of time
goddamn these old bones
goddamn these old bones
feelings of regret, piling up too much debt waiting for a death like a blessed sunset
time is at our heels collecting those debts of what we learn to accept and what to never forget
Ive wasted my whole life trying to forgive myself so heres to you,
my crown of shit
we claw and tear for another breath but its hard to breath when theres nothing left
Ive spent my whole life trying to forgive myself so heres to you,
my crown of shit

4. Rot

Its best you know about all this now
Its best you know why I couldnt tell you
Its best you know why Im so cold
Its best you know...
Why? I dont know
ready to rot
ready to rot
ready to rot inside the fucking ground
Its best you know about all this now
Its best you know why I couldnt tell you
Its best you know why Im so cold
Its best you know..
Why?
I dont know
ready to rot
ready to rot
ready to rot inside the fucking ground
I never cared whether I woke up ever again
I never cared if I meant something to you
to me or anyone else
I should have done it sooner. pulled the trigger this same time last year. at least I wouldnt have been a burden to you, to me or anyone else

5. Mayday

Ive hit rock bottom again and I dont wanna call for help
Ive been clawing at these walls, with nooses around my neck
Ive folded all my cards
may day
Im burning wicks at both ends
may day
Its true Im coming undone
may day
you know Ive been calling for help
may day
I need these shovel wings to get me to that coffin
red night terrors and god, I smile at this all too often
Im crashing down bursting in flames
may day
I need a touch of mercy you say
may day
Im checking out
may day

6. Wraiths

keep your hatchets close and your wraiths closer
give no quarter
light my way in black
no one shall inherit the earth
never forgive
Ive always believed in vengeance
too much is never enough
Ill carry out that sentence
with a different kind of love
no one shall inherit the earth
vengeance guide my hand
vengeance give me strength
vengeance mother of god
take me to the brink
vengeance, let the blood run
let it fill the sea
vengeance, turn the knife on me
then Ill finally be free

7. Trauma

Im a fucking mess.

[there are more lyrics to this song, but they arent printed on the lyric sheet that came with the record]

8. Give Up

in your loneliest night where you crawled and screamed and you ran out of friends to blame
where you drank yourself through those sorry years
and being dead by thirty was your only aim
in your loneliest night where you already knew you were meant to lose
where those easy words?
you threw in the towel and were finally through
I give up. I give up.
Im tired of fighting wars I just cant win
I give up. I give up.
Im tired of fighting wars I just cant win
in your loneliest night when your father died and how the thought still breaks your heart
where you tried to forgive the world but you knew your knives, they would never starve
in your loneliest night when you realized that, that your heart was finally hung
where were those easy words?
when you closed your eyes and we're finally done
I give up. I give up.
Im tired of fighting wars I just cant win
I give up. I give up.
Im tired of fighting wars I just cant win
you just cant fucking win
I give up.

9. Bastard Tears

Im on the run again
from myself and an avalanche making for the hills from a surrendered past
A haunted face looking in the mirror waking from heartache and a familiar fear of
borrowed time being paid by fools, where I keep my eyes closed no matter how cruel
our lives crashing down all around our ears
life the dreams and hopes that seemed so near
I think I might be dreaming again
waiting to fade away, waiting for the end
I think Im always drinking too much
when what I hold against everyone is a cowards grudge
Im on the run
from all the love that Ill never know
so Ill stay here in heaven below
Im on the run

10. Harm

Ill bear it all
I dont believe in much of anything anymore
Ill bear it all
not that there is much anymore to believe in anyways
its always worse after midnight
no rest in sleep, no rest in life
lets end this
before it ends us all
hopeless hands reaching for the sky
before going
head first into a stillborn sea
like the rest of you, like the rest of me
I dont believe in much of anything anymore
Ill bear it all
not that there is much anymore to believe in anyways
Its always worse come daylight
no hands to hold so alone we get old
lets end this
before it ends us all
Ill bear it all
to dream of bleak grey shores, endless rolling waves.
crashing.
silently.
with nothing else to hear or see or know
grief upon grief
my cup runneth over
