old bones - burning books lyrics

i wish i could believe there’s more to me
than what the judge and jury can see
i wish i could say i tried my best
maybe the warden would grant me my rest
but i am the warden
and i am the judge
i torture myself
no man could hold such a grudge
against so me so i’ll hold it myself
my blood on my hands and
my head on the shelf
i hope i live to see the day
when these old bones aren’t filled with decay
but i fear i will stay on this road
and what is left of me will slowly erode

my mind is shut, my eyes are closed
i won’t let them in
i fear i can’t complete
what i did not begin

i wish i could forgive
but i don’t want to forget
otherwise i fear
i’d lead a life of regret

if i could remember what i have done
i could try to repent and change it all
but it seems the memories
i just can’t recall

my mind is shut, my eyes are closed
i won’t let them in
i fear i can’t complete
what i could not begin
my mind is shut, my eyes are closed
i won’t let them in
i fear i can’t complete
what i did not begin

so, for now i remain the judge
and continue to hold that festering grudge
i need someone to come along
to spark the memories that i fear are gone

my mind is shut, my eyes are closed
i won’t let them in
‘cause with these old bones i don’t know where to begin
my mind is shut, my eyes are closed
i won’t let them in
and i see that the warden won’t pardon my sin
now i know the warden can’t pardon my sin
