Capstan (Post-Hardcore)
I’ll Bury the Hatchet When They Bury You
[Verse 1]
You were like an anchor
Tied to my ankles
Dragging me deep!
Cut you loose so I could breathe!
And on my better days, I’m full of contempt!
You’re a sickness in my head
The part of me that I detest!
[Chorus]
You’ve got me fractured
A slow burn till I’m ashes
A violent reaction
You’re the cancer of my cells
All your memories hurt like hell
I’m fading faster
Is death what you’re after?
'Cause I never mattered
There’s no cure in someone else
Search for solace in yourself
[Verse 2]
You destroy what’s left and call it karma
A religion founded on your pain pills and vodka
You gravitate to self-inflicted trauma, clinging to a broken past as if it were your dogma
You tore me apart
Took what I loved
Left me with broken parts!
How do empty hands rebuild?
How does a vacant mind restart?
The only thing from you I have ever learned
Is that the brightest lights
Leave the deepest burns!
[Chorus]
You’ve got me fractured
A slow burn till I’m ashes
A violent reaction
You’re the cancer of my cells
All your memories hurt like hell
I’m fading faster
Is death what you’re after?
'Cause I never mattered
There’s no cure in someone else
Search for solace in yourself
[Outro]
A shallow foundation
Built upon your hatred
Where we stood, the ground gave way
Collapsing on our lives, swallowed by the faultline
That buried me under your weight
A shallow foundation
Built upon your hatred
Where we stood, the ground gave way
Collapsing on our lives, swallowed by the faultline
That buried me under your weight!
