Abstinence of the Grave

Verse 1

Rotting

Flesh on the bone

Crawling through the feast

Clinging to the velvet chair

I want more

I need the wine

I need the salt

Keep the door bolted shut

Nobody leaves

Nobody sleeps

Chorus

Life is the one great indulgence

The feast that never ends

Death is the one great abstinence

The cold that never mends

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Verse 2

Stalling

The clock stops

Breath like rusted iron

Hands shaking at the table

The party screams

The party bleeds

The party lives

Greedy mouth full of dirt

Thirsty

Starving for air

Chorus

Life is the one great indulgence

The feast that never ends

Death is the one great abstinence

The cold that never mends

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Bridge

Earthly joy

Earthly pain

Earthly drain

I am satisfied

I am terrified

I am petrified

The lights stay on

The music stays loud

The curtains stay drawn

No quiet

No peace

No release

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Life is the one great indulgence

The feast that never ends

Death is the one great abstinence

The cold that never mends

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Outro

No one leaves

The party is forever

Stuck inside

Stay inside

Forever

Forever

Forever
