Lyrics

Tombstone

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Lions all around me

Truth can be lies and the devil

Don't want you free

Can anybody be

My minds wanders around

Though i'm caged oh let me out

Unmarked are the tombstones

But the family still cares

There were so many words

I should have never kept

[Chorus]

And oh you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

ANd I'll cut you free

And oh as we stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling

We're howling for you

We're howling for you

[Verse 2]

I saw what you saw

But there was something else

You know your love

Has bound your feet

And you're casting shadows

To deceive me

I never knew how it could be

I took a lot

I took once more

I want to do something

To show you to me

Because you know that no one

Really knows me

[Chorus]

And oh you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

And I'll cut you free

And oh as I stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling

We're howling for you

We're howling for you

[Bridge]

Unmarked are the tombstones

But the family still cares

There were so many words

I should have never kept

I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free

[Chorus]

And oh you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free

And oh I stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling

We're howling for you

We're howling for you

[Outro]

Unmarked are the tombstones

But the family still cares

There were so many words

I should have never kept
