Just a Book - Bitter Ruin

There’s a scroll you’ve yet to read out loud

Get rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling out

Rolling out the red like blood spill and I will be

Holding, holding, holding, holding on

Say what you need to

Your stones cannot bare like threats of a snare

So tear up these words like they’re meat for the hungry

The 'nobody told me'(s)

These words, nobody ever hears

Just a book to be read

Waiting on the seabed

Under the weighty waves

For years

To the press we’ll take it shave off slim pay offs for

Turning, turning, turning, turning out

All the leaves of all the tree breasts we use for the chests

Now burning, burning, burning, burning

Our candles both ends but

Are you not tempted?

Empty and rented

Looting your temples and making example

Pack-like to handle and

These words, nobody ever hears

Just a book to be read

Waiting on the seabed

Under the weighty waves

For years

Call, call them out

From under the decks of wrecks and I’ll bet you all

They’ll be loud

Louder than thunder but silent in slumber

These words, nobody ever hears

Just a book to be read

Waiting on the seabed

Under the weighty waves

For years
