Lyrics:
They kept telling me
"it's gonna get better,
others have it worse."
I kept answering:
"This is depressing me.
It's like a death letter,
words bespoken like a curse."
Well now see how this jar
is getting filled with rage
The glass is shattering
I'm just as angry as a teenager
rebelliant, filled with grief,
I want to die, but I gotta believe...
That things will get better one day!

Lay a tombstone of a black birch
to mark where I will lay beneath.
Far away from any track or church
on a broken strake astray by heath.
With a microphone like on a scene
Scream out loud anthem of the dead!
We're nothing but glass so clean
To fill like a jar with sand we dread.

Outlaw, rule breaker or a Warlock,
That's what people kept calling me.
I am not holding you in a deadlock,
I'm just learning unwillingly!
I am not an immoral schmock,
I hold you accountable here
for affecing me with your own sin!
I summon forth what's been
burried under your corrupted skin!

Lay a tombstone of a black birch
to mark where I will lay beneath.
Far away from any track or church
on a broken strake astray by heath.
With a microphone like on a scene
Scream out loud anthem of the dead!
We're nothing but glass so clean
To fill like a jar with sand we dread.

Why forsaking us all?
What are you doing it for!?
Why forsaking us all?
Why share your own burden!?
Why pushing your own depression further?
Why not come to accept it?
Why forsaking us all?
When your grief is over
Will you spare my soul!?
