about

This track was written more conventionally than the rest, in a standard everyone-contributes back and forth fashion. It's Kris' favorite track. The sound features influence from the melodic metalcore and deathcore bands that most inspired Kris & Marc. The lyrical content was written as a story about a man who's on his death bed and has visions of his own empty funeral, all while praying for death.

lyrics

Oh

Let's go

[Verse 1]
Mere days remain
Bringing nothing but pain
People pass me by
Minds to themselves
As I lay here
Praying for help
Might as well give it all up now

[Bridge]
No mercy on my soul
Take me now
Bring me to death's toll
Where there is nothing but silence
Bring me to death's toll

Sew my mouth shut so I may never speak again (x2)

[Chorus 1]
I lay underneath the ground
Looking at the sky
Shovels begin to dig
At the end of my life
I lay here looking up
As the dirt fills up my eyes
And there's an empty ceremony with no tears to cry

[Verse 2]
My eyelids peeled, it was all just a dream
Now I am forced to relive everything that I've seen
Death is within my reach
Please pull the plug so I can finally rest in peace
I can finally rest in peace
So I can finally rest in peace

[Chorus 2]
As I lay underneath the ground
Shovels begin to dig
At the...
End of my..

[Breakdown x2]
Time's up
Dead end
Breathless
Silence seeps in

[Ending]
Take me away
Heart stops
Body decay
When death comes calling
Vanquish my name
Vanquish my name
