lyrics

Right from the start
he fell into the hearts
of many lovers
pulling him back down
to the ground
where he came from
back to the ground
he can’t get out of

He rests his head
while he falls apart
decomposing
dreaming of lead
and smoking guns
back to the ground
he can’t get out of

James Graves
shot right through the heart
he never had
James Graves
buried in the sands
he turned into

he kept on digging
kept on digging down
in the sand
grabbing at the hands
of distant people
sinking further
down into the sand
sinking further

graves he fell
right into the void
another land
filling up with sand
and bones and blood
down into the sand
sinking further

James Graves
shot right through the heart
he never had
James Graves
buried in the sands
he turned into
