Kittie - Funeral For Yesterday lyrics



Tracks



01. Funeral For Yesterday

You're growing cold The end is near
I know it's sad Its true my dear
What's one more blow to seal this fate
And what's one more nail
It's getting late
So check our pulse

Keep our hearts from breaking
Beating still six feet deep
A funeral for all the love we've lost
We'll bury yesterday
Things I've never said before
Always six feet deep

Buried alive I soon grow weak
One last embrace
Then never speak
Death warrant signed
Lying in state
This coffin is lined
It's never too late to check our pulse

Ooh You're growing cold... Ooh you're growing cold

02. Breathe

You, You aren't really here with me
You never were
Sweep the dust from our eyes once again
Watch the sunset of our hearts for one last time
At sunrise I'll be gone
Another pistol loaded
This time it's mine

Breathe Just for one more day and you'll come back to me
You're so cold
I, I still wonder whether you'll come back to be
Just hold on

Sleep, Sleep now love, the sun extinguishes itself
I will never look back, look for something else
Deliver me with your sweet song and take me home
Take me home again
Another pistol loaded
This time it's mine
My heart just bleeds devotion
Give me a sign

Breathe and you'll come back to me
I wish you'd come back to me

03. Everything That Could Have Been

There is an art, to falling apart
Just follow steps 1 through 10 and you're done
When you don't know yourself, anymore
It's time to get out of here
Just take my hand there is nothing to fear
Another day is wasted again

And everything that could have been
A burden I still bear
Even though you're gone
I'm still holding onto everything that could have been

Even though you're gone I'm still holding onto everything that could have been

Mistakes, I've made a few
Look at the mess that I've made and you'll see
That things don't always go as planned
Mistrust, the source of this pain
You say you're angry, there's no one to blame but you and the choices you've made

I wonder what could have been
Is this the end?
I wonder what could have been
Is this the end?

04. Slow Motion

And this love will be the death of me
Blank eyes see no end
Pulse is weak
Your skin is turning blue
I can't let go of you

Hope is gone
The light is dim again
I'm praying for a sign
Fragile hearts
A face so porcelain
This blow surely break you
I am at the end of all of life's decisions
It's not too late

Can you, will you please be there for when it all comes down?
In slow motion
I'll hold on to this empty shell
It's everything I have
Lower me into the ground before all of these crumbles onto me
And I will hold you
And I will hold you down
Alive to see your death
You'll never make a sound
And I will hold you
And I will hold you down
You'll be forever
And never make a sound

05. Will to Live

Death
A chance to dream
Something clearly calling out but left unspoken
Sleep
To end it all
Another heaven tumbles down
A fire awoken
This curse is endless
Like a vacant in your eyes

I've lost the will to live again
It's something that I share
This car crash
Moves in slow motion
And I can't help but stare

Fear
To fan the flames
The embers quickly burning out are overtaken
Pain
To seal you fate
The only thing I've ever known has left me broken
This curse is endless
Like the vacant in your eyes

They see me moving
Targets once again
Wounded, disarmed
Fear my only friend
These tales of heartache
Lessons by the mile
My memory won't rest

06. Never Again

An act of desperation
When will this ever end?
My sorrow turns to hatred
You'll get my sweet revenge

Lies, deception
I've never been so strong
Lies, deception
You've never been so wrong

Never again will I let this
Never Again
You'll beg for mercy now

Never again will I let this destroy my plans
You'll beg for mercy

I'm bitter to the core now
I've seen those kingdoms fall
All trust has crumbled slowly
I'll build up higher walls

Lies, deception
I've never been so strong
Lies, deception
I've never been so wrong

07. Sweet Destruction (Interlude)

Life is cold when you're wounded
Nothing stings so deep
I'm in love with this weakness
It's becoming me
I'm not here
In this moment
Will this last forever?

Oh my sweet Lies,
Destruction
Be the death of me
There are things
Left unspoken
Built on broken dreams
I would end my life for this
Would you die for me?

08. Summer Dies

Summer dies
Winter takes its place
It chills inside
A cold sedated slumber
I have cried
For this thankless life
These tears turn ice
I have been forsaken
Through the lies
I can see the truth
When all warmth dies
Cold becomes familiar
I have waited for this day
Winter's warning comes
Another summer dies but she'll be back again
To save me from this endless night
I have cried enough

Another summer dies but there'll be light again
To save me from this endless
Save me from
Down this path
Out of existence
Its winter's wrath
That I fear the most
Shades of green
Through the ice and snow
Let me know I have been forgiven
I have waited for this day
Summer dies
Winter takes its place
It chills inside
Cold sedated slumber so end this night

09. Flower Of Flesh And Blood

My sweet obsession
My greatest masterpiece
When I undress you
Everything falls in place
I will control you
This flower of flesh and blood
True crimson blooming
I'll tear the petals off of you
Flower of flesh
My love will die for it

Boundless and red
My love lies motionless
My own creation
My one and only slave

Into the darkness
The hate of hell is boundless
This blade consoles you
True beauty staining through
This love destroys you
And there is nothing you can do

10. Around Your Heart

Straight faced
In your embrace
Gripped around my heart
Innocent I plead my case
I'm never going back
Please don't unwind
This tether twined
Around your heart
This tether breaks

Decay
Erase
Finish what you start
I know that it's not too late
To save us from ourselves
Remember when your smile
Made everything worthwhile
Finish what you start

11. This Too Shall Pass

My heart's a scar now
Thick skin will never mend
I've learned my lessons well

I've felt destruction
The harsh reality
Everyone leaves you in the end

So tear the memories Burn them all
There is nothing you can say that can change it
I take them all back
This is final
I have severed all the ties and am moving on

There's no forever
You're all you'll ever have
My hates eclipsing all
This too shall pass
This too shall pass

They'll leave you hollow
Stranded no hand to hold
A bleak epiphany

I take them all back
I take them all back
I take them all back

12. Last Goodbye

Your hate sustains me
Such suffering comforts me
Your failures take me elsewhere
Your choices set me free
I know you watch me
I know your every move
This game is over
There is nothing left to prove
This is the end of Eden
This is my last goodbye
I've laid to rest the demons
Still, I'd love to watch you die

There is nothing left to cry for
My blessing is your curse
I've had enough of torture
I hope you feel it worse
I know you watch me
I know you every move
This game is over
There is nothing left to prove
There are no enemies left
Such things are born from grief
I grow stronger with every glance
Each time my name you speak

13. Witch Hunt

A reign of terror on us
The persecution begins
Hold tight the circle
Working woe at ever chance

This is the end of innocence
Just one against the crowd
One torch to light the way there
One torch to burn it down

Through fire and trial
Confess your sins
The lady burns
And no one wins T
he lady is for burning now
Hold her down
Against her will, against her word
Hold her down
And hope no more
Hold her down

Bring back the heads of sinners
Such witches don't wear crowns
A spectre hides among us
Converge and watch them drown

Through fire and trial
Confess your sins
The lady burns
And no one wins

14. The Change

Deposition
I'd lay to rest my being
Solemn death march took in stride
Funeration
That was my elegy
Open casket full of lies
The last rites have been spoken
It's time to die, then rise
Out of the flames
Unearth the change
Nothing can stay the same
Out of the flames

We'll rise again
Dying is not the end
Sweet revenge for
Attempts to bury me
Suffering will serve you right
Deliverance from
This cry for amnesty
I will stand and take what's mine
All mine
The last rites have been spoken
It's time to die, then rise
