Embrace The Rot
Az Apathy
5:18I woke in a bed that wasn't mine No mattress no blanket no sign of time Just dust through my nose Suffocating slow Like every breath was a question I wasn't allowed to know Six feet deep axe at my side But no wood no steel just something that wouldn't die Birch, oak, sequoia, maybe A tree of silence that grew from maybe baby I knocked but nothing cracked I screamed but nothing screamed back You stood on top of the grave I called home But no name on the stone Was it me that died Or the version you owned Bury the hatchet But not in my back Carve it in stone Let the dead parts crack I don't know what died that day The me you loved or the one I threw away No name on the grave just echoes and shame Tell me who the fuck's to blame You watched from the surface like it never meant shit My fists were bloodied my throat was split You smiled like I belonged to the dirt Like being forgotten was some kind of rebirth The box it was memory Lined in guilt And every inch I sank was proof of what we built Not a coffin But a curse A love story rewritten in reverse You stood on top of the grave I called home But no name on the stone Was it me that died Or the part you disowned Bury the hatchet But not in my spine Leave it in dirt Let the roots intertwine I don't know what died that day The me you loved or the one I betrayed No name on the grave just echoes and shame Tell me who the fuck's to blame This grave is mine But I'm still breathing Call it resurrection Call it screaming Call it revenge Call it a correction But I dug my way out With no direction Bury the hatchet But not in my back I left it behind With the love that cracked I don't know what died that day But it wasn't me I walked away No name on the grave just echoes and shame But now I know who's to blame
