This is a record of mourning
A house of memory
This here will serve as a warning
Excess or anxiety
No more breaths in the morning
Breaths know not to repeat
Hard to know what to think of them
Hard to think you will never meet
Hard to meet or accept the loss
Loss of a hero to the mercy seat
No one was ready for
The cancerous winter
No heroes anymore
And no one to let them go, no
This is a record of wallow
A house of fretfulness
How likely are you to follow
Circumstantial evidence
No choice now but to wait
Wait for the word to go out
Out of chances to make a change
Out of changes to bring about
About now that the word comes in
Word of another permanent blackout
This is a record of contempt
A house of disappointment
This here will serve as our policy
Keep your f*cking hands off of me
You don't change the world, you remake it
You don't blaze a trail, you take it
You don't stand on the shoulders of giants
You dig your heels in a corpse
Kill your heroes, make it even
We'll rip you out by force
This is a record of mourning
A house of memory
This here will serve as a warning
Keep your f*cking hands off of me
