Lyrics

Catacombs

[Verse 1]

I know I'm buried somewhere down there

In the catacombs of your mind

Dig deeper and you'll find

A haze of daisy chains and medicated pains

Good god, when acid rain floods your brain

From the dirt I will rise, I will rise

[Chorus]

The precessions ahead

The heart left behind

The future is fleeting

I'm out of time

[Verse 2]

Fine words of youth can bloom wrath upon infatuation

My purity is you

Jejune

The midnight city walks on wretched blocks

Sick of humiliation

I'm still on the prowl behind you

[Chorus]

The precessions ahead

The heart left behind

The future is fleeting

I'm out of time

[Verse 3]

Remember how you moved and

I never heard from you again

Sometimes I do pretend

You said that one day you'd come back for me

Oh, that is the only reason why I'm still a part

Of this dreadful scenery

[Chorus]

The precessions ahead

The heart left behind

The future is fleeting

I'm out of time

[Outro]

Your hair will return

To its natural color

You'll move to a new town

And off to another
