Rotting in place
Rotting away
With nothing left
Running in place
Running away
Holding on
To a thread of empathy
Running the tank
Running the tank
On empty

Tacit forms, excluding life
Disposable remonstrance
Atrophy resides
In the bones that withered away

Lay on wasted remissions
Cutting ties
With this body and mind

Sacrifices made burned and clear
Counting back all the hours
To take me far from here

To grasp, endure, proceed
Hostile eyes always watching

We love, we lose,
We put the living corpse to use

We pick, we choose
The beaten path in front of you

Rotting in place
Rotting away
With nothing left
Running in place
Running away
Holding on
To a thread of empathy
Running the tank
Running the tank
On empty

Lay on wasted remissions
Cutting ties
With this body and mind
Counting back all the hours
To take me far from here

Sacrifices made burned and clear
To grasp, endure, proceed
Hostile eyes always watching

Tacit forms, excluding life
Disposable remonstrance
Atrophy resides
In the bones that withered away
