In Living Memory Video (MV)

Drain the dread from my head
As I float to the surface
Wave after wave
To the grave without purpose
Fearful and nervous
And branded by curses
That drown me in sorrow
And kill my disguise

Death is the open hand
I prayed to God that he would send
I can't pretend I wouldn't rather burn out than fade away
Here I go again down the hole I've always been
Cause I thought that
You'd be better off without
My life in the way

I was the kid in the corner
With the mental disorder
Everyday breathing
But finding it harder
Live long enough
And you'll wish you were under
Six feet of dirt
With your eyes to the sky

Death is the open hand
I prayed to God that he would send
I can't pretend I wouldn't rather burn out than fade away
Here I go again down the hole I've always been
Cause I thought that
You'd be better off without
My life in the way

Lullabies and out loud cries
Thunderclaps from clear blue skies
No sunrise on my horizon
The only lights are bolts to strike me down

Death is the open hand
I prayed to God that he would send
I can't pretend I wouldn't rather burn out than fade away
Here I go again down the hole I've always been
Cause I thought that
You'd be better off without
My life in the way
