grassy grave - anthony ruptak lyrics

yes, i am following blindly the song of my father
as do the beasts and the flock
yeah, i guess we’re the same
and yes, i was speaking to others while sleeping
don’t bother
grabbing my shoulder and shaking the spirits away

and lord, i was dreaming of grassy graves out in the dog pen
the place where i fell from the aspen and opened my skin
and out from the blood in the soil came the soul of my old friend
started l!cking the dirt from my leg as i clung
as i clung, as i clung on to him

so here we go, making our way
across the ridge of the mountain
the ambulance lights and the ambient light
burn the air, burn the streets, burn us all so well
and being so young, i was scared for the life i was losing, losing, losing, oh
though so softly my parents spoke
adding up hospital bills

as i saw the whites of my bones glistening in the tiny room
i saw for the first time, the dangers which eagerly crept
they stuck me with needles so long, i could feel their hands trembling
as i sat in wonder as my brother and my mother wept
then out from the severed veins
and onto the linens came
these little red devils singing
“come on friends, we have escaped!”
then came the sterile rag
brushing them all away
somewhere they still carry on
somewhere in the deepest drain

somewhere in the deepest drain
somewhere near the grassy grave
somewhere in the deepest drain
they all stand, hands entwined, and they all still sing

“come now, come on, move on, its not the end
come now, come on, wake up, you’re not dead yet
come now, come on, move on, its not the end
come now, you’re not dead quite yet my friend!”
