Procession Lyrics

Tied me to a chair
Sailed me out to sea
Left me sinking in the ocean
As the sharks circled me
Distant shadows 'neath my feet
Faded images and dreams

I woke up to a cooling sweat
The beads run down my face
Painting pictures in the pillow
As I turned so many ways
I wonder if I'd stop
If I finally saw the face I know

Lust has got me falling
Uncontrollable disease
My head is fully satisfied
My heart is never pleased
I'm fed up with the girls
Who just keep falling to their knees

'Cause envy is too curious
Its boldness never wins
Leaving murders in the corridors
And bodies in the bins
I'm not sure if this jail
Will keep these feelings in

I hear death is very distant
It's agony's despair
And the several homeless tissues
Can never really cure
The tears from the eyes
Of a funeral procession

So I'm fighting with a wooden leg A chair still floats beneath
Keeping hope inside its cradle
As it's swaying in the wind
Distant lullabies are heard
As my mother slowly sings me back to sleep

I'm sorry but pandora dear
You'll see what you have done
An example of self-sacrifice
I guess you finally won
If you close the box for good
You'll never get me back, I'm gone

So she sits beside my chair tonight
Trying desperately to dream
Her hands can only stop
My sinking memory
I bet she never knew this box could ever stop to dream
I bet she never knew that it would kill me in my sleep
I bet she never knew that these are nightmares
And they're finally hers to keep

I hear death is very instant
When the bodies in despair
And my family will follow
As I'm lowered in the air
The tears from the eyes
Of a funeral procession
