Replacement

from The Ocean On Fire by Hello Whirled

/

lyrics

sleeping in your fridge
there's life in here but meant for the cold
death is a knife away
or worth the wait to be claimed by the mold
I wasn't born like you
a shadow of what you loved the most
crying your life away
I hear you but I'm just a ghost

you can say whatever you want
I can't bring back, I'm just here to haunt
and if you see a stance as a taunt
you can live in denial forever

I'm a replacement
locked in the basement
bars over casement
preventing your defacement
I'm a substitute
nothing absolute
something to point and shoot, at
but it won't change anything

waking up in the woods
it's dark out but you see the trees
no one's killed you yet
but still, it comes for your unease
walking on the edge
there's life out here but underground
death is a night away
in sleep you'll never hear the sounds

of alarms in tune with the birds
I can't bring back the warmth of the words
but if you see a man in the dark
you can die

I can't clean up all of the blood
that you left in the wake of your flood
I can't burn it all for the good
of your mind
