Lyrics

I'm gonna bury you in the woods
Gonna leave you in the pines
Mark your grave with a thought
In the back of my mind, in time
Like you it's gonna die

No ones gonna hear you scream
No ones gonna hear you cry
Your voice will sound like a tree that falls
In the middle of the night
The middle of the night

I, I know you'll find
That dying is easier
Than life

We're gonna take a walk
Down to the waterline
Listen to the river run
Like you're gonna try
It's no surprise

Who do you pray to, my friend
Who you trying to find
Someone that wouldn't leave you
Cause you've been left behind
You've been left behind

I, I know you'll find
That dying is easier
Than life

Stars might shine on you, my friend
They might show a sign
But I'm gonna truth
I taught them to lie
I taught them to lie

You're gonna see it clear, my friend
I'll be satisfied
With the price you payed
For being here tonight
Being here tonight
