rob my grave of all

my bones, and I'll

thank you for it with

all my soul. you know,

it's not easy to

keep it light when it's

mausoleum in the

back of my mind.

robbed my grave, but you

left my heart, 'cause it

bleeds too much, gushing

all over the white.

it's not easy to

make it right, the wrong

when I don't know how

far it was along.

rob my grave, but the

joke's on you, I don't

have nothing you want

in my coffin here.

it's been hard for a

ghost like me to feel

I belong in a

place that I can reach.
