XX City Grave
Silent Planet
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual
Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face
Privilege brings us to this place

Of human currencies
Buried our sisters in a glass display
Only to evaporate to a toxic skyline
Underneath we sell off the bodies

My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls
Show me your righteous leader, I'll show you the bullet holes
The preacher [1] with the parched tongue and the "God" that he controls
"Shake off the sin, shake off the sin" and spit out your cacophony of lies

[Pre-Chorus: Garrett Russell]
I'll climb through your screen
And bleed out the image you left in me [2]
But God, are you man?

[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Then how do you see me from where you sit up in heaven? [3]
Looking down on my hell, my body chokes back
"I have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep
Where can I get living water?" [4]
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Enslaved in the "Land of the Free" [5], my prison is our wedding bed
Where you left me for dead, you'll leave us for dead
Apathy was our anchor to a digital sea [6]
Where you drown in the comfort of our complicity

[Outro: Garrett Russell]
Can love save me?
Will Your wrath avenge us? [7]
