Momento Mori

[Verse 1] She was tied up to the tracks in the middle of the road Clutching to the thorns of a rose that she fought but she couldn't let go Couldn't let go Perched upon his lung, she was tapping in his chest I'll be hiding in the dreams of your last will and testament Testament And if the only way out was just a straight ahead admission of guilt Then he wouldn't be sitting in the darkness, sharpening every excuse You hit the bottle You can't drain the yellow out of your spine [Chorus:] If you would If you would If you would… You hit the bottle You can't drain the yellow out of your spine If you would If you would If you would… [Verse 2] Smothered by the time that he could never forget Disassociation in the comfort of his dreams that she wouldn't let go Wouldn't let go And every time he woke up in the coldest sweat Scrawled to the bone with her nails was the promise that she wouldn't let go Wouldn't let go And if the only way out was just a straight ahead admission of guilt Then he wouldn't be sitting in the darkness, sharpening every excuse [Chorus] [Verse 3] She will swing the hammer every night Sleeping in the ditch beyond the pine She must breathe the water every night Taking every breath that you've denied She will swing the hammer every night Sleeping in the ditch Sleeping in the ditch Sleeping in the ditch beyond the pine [Chorus] Momento mori [Background sound and voices] Momento Mori
