From the Chest Down
Lyrics
Warm steel lays on top of you, under quiet trees
Cold fear takes a hold of you. Can't feel anything
When your spine went and became two
I'm sorry I wasn't there
All I wanted to see was you
You're sleeping. I said a prayer
Gravel pressing into your skin. You can hardly breathe
But I'm so far away.
Tell me anything. Please forgive me
When your spine went and became two
I'm sorry I wasn't there
All I wanted to see was you
You're sleeping. I said a prayer
When your spine went and became two
I'm sorry I wasn't there
All I wanted to see was you
You're sleeping. I said a prayer
