The Earth Will Turn

歌詞

As the months move on, we hardly speak Your hair turns to grey and that heart's growing tired and weak I shoveled the dirt and made a grave for you to sleep in Because you're dead to me so take your last breath From the second I awoke to the earth I was destined to grow without you and suffer Selfish, reckless and a fiend You chose that bastard over your family How can we hope to pick up all the pieces Wen you're destroying the ground we stand on? Those drugs that you crave burned holes in your brain And paved the path for the life you hate Goddamn you for leaving when we needed you Hell bent on saving only yourself but that crippling defeat And the cancer you breathe, it finally caught up to you Now it's plain to see I don't need you in the same old way I don't need you to be here at all A thousand miles away from home but you wouldn't even fucking know Mother, tell me where you've been I refuse to hear anymore of this deafening silence Consider this bridge burned and I'll consider you gone forever You don't have the backbone to face The ones you left for your dead This is the last time we'll speak so listen closely I tried to save you but you slipped away I was once your son, now you have no part in what I've become Stranger, you threw it all away for that lesser man Now you must sleep in the bed you've made No forgiveness for the things you say Or the choices that took you away No fighting for a second chance The earth will turn and you'll be dead
