Say a prayer for me, I’m alone

The wind howls and it cuts me to my bones

They hunt me down, but I’m never gonna leave

I’ll always be right here by the sea

My bones feel as old as the trees

My skin’s painted in by a cold winter breeze

I should’ve got used to this a long time ago

I thought I was good, but it started to snow

Did you ever hear a monster begging?

I never thought I’d hear the things they’re saying

I don’t know what the words were said for

I’m not proud of what I bled for

It’s not something that I understand

I could never stay with the plan

My loyalty is all divided

There’s a funeral and I’m invited

So I will start another life among the ghosts

We’ll set sail for another haunted coast

To the welcoming arms of the skeleton trees

And hope that I can sleep away the disease

And maybe you can wake up like it’s just another day

The funeral is over, but I never walked away

The stars are gonna watch time fill me with dread,

The moon is gonna watch me just shake ’til I’m dead

Did you ever hear a monster begging?

I never thought I’d hear the things they’re saying

I don’t know what the words were said for

You mean to tell me this is what I bled for?

Fatal wounds that I try to hide

There’s hunger in my pride

Can you say that you’re surprised?

Am I everything you despise?

Every night I dream of spiders on my hands

I wake up in cobwebs and forgotten commands

Every night I dream of snakes in my veins

My, my, how things have changed

But I’ve been here and I’m done begging

I won’t believe another word you’re saying

Escape routes just aren’t for me

I think I’ll write my own story
