Night Verses Introducing: The Rot Under the Sun lyrics

Let's just end what we've begun
I know we're at a loss.
Like the desert we've become
A place to die alone

And if vultures have their reasons for desecrating skin
I'll be the rot under the sun
Are you listening to me?
If dead stalk the living in complicated schemes
Then I'll be the one foot in the grave
Are you listening to me?

Why does this feel like a bad dream?
Burning bridges crumbling over you
Why do I feel so numb?
Burning bridges crumbling over me
Why can't I wake from all the grieving?

Let's just end what we've begun
We were robbed of something more
Like the desert we've become
A place to die alone

And if junkies have their reasons

For penetrating skin
I'll be the needle in your arm
Are you listening?
If all the world's a stage
Where the characters decease
I'll be the first to kiss the earth
Are you listening to me?

Kill the sound
It's getting worse
We're falling deep from poison nerve
Battling to keep complete
is this what we deserve?
Lights go out
We keep from sleep
We're threatened with a curse
Tragedy we can't release
When will we ever learn?

Why does this feel like a bad dream?
