This one’s been sitting in the vault for a while. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. 🖤

Lyrics:
⠀
Lavish purple roses and jasmine air
Flowing down her silk brocade, it's not fair
⠀
Missing a life full of vibrant smiles
Brittle flowers wither away
⠀
Words all stolen, the body lies still
Angel and the devil on the windowsill
⠀
Buried six feet deep
Does the dirt take my soul?
Of the giver and the thief
I’ve been playing my role
⠀
A smile, a laugh, a step in your path
Is this what you think of me?
⠀
Ears open wide, a thorn in your side
Is this all that I can be?
⠀
Hide all of the people
The fall of the steeple
We saw when it started to lean
⠀
Soul of a cold saint and
A whisper’s been waiting
So long that it became a scream
⠀
I’m done with missing you
Seems like that’s all that I can do
Rotting inside the tomb I made
⠀
All of the love and hate
Both things are more than I can take
Rose from the dirt where I’d been laid
⠀
Eyes clouded like I’m dead
Lift up the stone from off my head
You can’t contain me in this grave
⠀
Buried six feet deep
With the seed that's been sown
Of the giver and the thief
I've been playing my role
⠀
Buried six feet deep
With the seed that you’ve sown
Of the tares and the wheat
Reaper’s scythe overgrown
⠀
Say goodbye, you lord of flies
You thief of my slumber
⠀
No starved insect drawn to your lies
My grace burned to embers
⠀
Melted down, forged a debt you cannot pay
That cuts through your mantle
⠀
Besmirched blade you hide away
You brandish the handle
⠀
Buried six feet deep
With the seed that you've sown
Of the giver and the thief
I’ve been playing my role
⠀
Buried six feet deep
Does the dirt take my soul?
Of the giver and the thief
I’ve been playing my rolemore
