Tombstoned

This is a song for those who find the living too loud and the graveyard just quiet enough to finally catch a decent buzz. Why talk to people when you can pour a drink for a headstone and enjoy the only neighbors who never complain about the noise? It’s cheap therapy with a much better view. Inspired by that special kind of peace. Song by: Dead Channel Audio Lyrics: [Intro] [Verse 1] The lanterns burn out on the edge of the hill I'm chasing the silent, I'm finding the still Pulling the venom out of the clay Letting the medicine wash it away My pulse slows down and the edges go numb Tracing the dates with the pad of my thumb No one to judge what I bury inside Just catching the buzz on a permanent high [Pre-Chorus] Pouring a drop on a weather-worn cross Spilling the spirits to cover the cost My breathing gets shallow, the vision goes blind Leaving the noise of the living behind [Chorus] Tombstoned Heavy in the chest and hollow in the bone Tombstoned Sitting in the dark but I ain't alone I'm floating above, they're resting below Yeah we're all a little tombstoned [Verse 2] The silver moon hangs like a hole in the sky Watching the dust devils whispering by The marble gets warm as the medicine peaks I'm listening close while the quietness speaks No demons to kill, no trigger to pull Just an empty glass bottle and a spirit that's full I'm sinking down deep in the root and the vine Blurring the edge of the boundary line [Pre-Chorus] Pouring a drop on a weather-worn cross Spilling the spirits to cover the cost My breathing gets shallow, the vision goes blind Leaving the noise of the living behind [Chorus] Tombstoned Heavy in the chest and hollow in the bone Tombstoned Sitting in the dark but I ain't alone I'm floating above, they're resting below Yeah we're all a little tombstoned [Bridge] The soil is breathing, the shadows stretch out Drowning the echoes that crawl from my mouth I'm shedding the skin of the world I despise With copper coins resting on heavy closed eyes The living keep running to nowhere so fast But down in the dirt there is peace at last [Breakdown] Bury the noise Swallow the key Nobody here But the phantoms and me [Chorus] Tombstoned Heavy in the chest and hollow in the bone Tombstoned Sitting in the dark but I ain't alone I'm floating above, they're resting below Yeah we're all a little tombstoned [Outro] Heavy in the chest Hollow in the bone Leave me Tombstoned
