X Marks The Spot
by: HumanwineThe weight of our heads on our shoulders
A magnetic pull towards grace
Flesh shedding blood on its way
A bone yard of retro display
And the bruised hunks of skin
No longer moved by the wind
Lead to X marks the spot
Crow collect the toll
From these time eaten frames
Mixing dust with dust while cawing new names
Kin on a tightrope
Hum a carpe diem tune
I've paid the murder and they brought me to you
At this time I stand and speak of my one regret
I haven`t burnt this map of memories yet
pointing to X marks the spot
