Lyrics There Are Better Ways to Die - Tanuki

There Are Better Ways to Die

I saw a watchful eye
Cast a shadow with it’s gaze and take a life
I froze along with time
Knowing this was doomed to ruin by design
I spoke without a breath
It echoed all the ones I laid to rest
I pulled out every knot
And quietly abandoned what we sought
They grow from empty seeds
Their roots take hold of me
Sink beneath my nails and whisper to the deep
They claw at every wall
The wounded limbs that I command
Hardly fit to carry me or make this crawl
I move from silent scenes
Cutting out the rivers along the seams
I purge this aching well
And the water turns to drown this private hell
I felt the gravity
An ever-pressing weight that cripples me
I’ve shared my shattered soul
There’s nothing left of me just let me go
Only fools could live this way
Only cowards can accept
No matter how this plays we’ll reach the end the same
The tears don’t need to dry
It won’t always hurt this much
Can you at least believe there are better ways to die?
There are better ways
There are better ways
There are better ways
There are better ways
There are better ways
There are better ways
There are better ways
There are better ways to die
There are better ways to die!
There are better ways to die!
