GRIND MY BONES

I am a moment slowly dying
Soon I will only cross your mind from time to time
I'll be the pattern in your ceiling cracks
As you resist another glass of wine

I am a solitary sentence
I share not poetry or prose and everybody knows
I have no marvelous inflection
Just random letters grouped in lines and rows.

Now I'm waiting for the lord up above to grind my bones,
love I'm waiting for the lord up above to grind my bones

Now as the walls around us crumble
Watch all the idiots and hypocrites rebel
You are two dashes and a number
And all of your complaining couldnt save you from yourselves

Now I'm waiting for the lord up above to grind my bones, love
While youre prayin to the ghost in your blood to save your souls
Here Im waiting for the lord up above to grind my bones
Im waiting for the lord up above to grind my bones

Luckily I'm not alone theres many here around me
In ever fist there is a stone thats set to cast
Once upon a time I was lost and nothin found me
You better know that when I go Im goin fast

Now I'm waiting for the lord up above to grind my bones, love
While youre prayin to the ghost in your blood to save your souls
Here I'm waiting for the lord up above to grind my bones
I'm waiting for the lord up above to grind my bones
