Basilica - For the Empty lyrics

Artist: Basilica

album: Weight


Not many sounds echo off the bark that forms your tree
Your branches hold the rope that chokes the life from my breathing
Each gnarled strand cuts deeper into what was human flesh
But this shell doesn't feel, this shell is broken, numb unrest
My tomb
When I'm gone lay me in the home I never made
Scatter my ashes on your heart, where they're sure to blow away
Leave the stone blank to reflect the emptiness in my neglect
Eventually I'll be as empty to you as the emptiness in my respect
Oh, how your limbs can hold so much weight I'll never know
The cracks on my trunk were deeper
Than the roots from yours could grow
I'll soon learn the heavier burden, the shell or the soul
Whereas you will only know my torment as long as this rope holds
My tomb
You can't make me stay
You can't hold my weight
You can't make me stay
You can't fix my hate
