Death Canoe (Extended 1)

Intro

Crawling through roots that swallow my name

Dirt in my throat I remember the flame

Face down forever but my mind’s still awake

Pulling me deeper with every mistake

Verse 1

Light leaks in through cracks in the ground

Bugs sing backwards, a funeral sound

Hands on my chest feeling warped and raw

Drowning in syrup, can’t fight what I saw

Pre-Chorus

Spinning in honey, dragging old scars

The nightmares replay under dead stars

Chorus

Buried alive with your name on the bark

Can you feel the drip as the honey climbs your jaw

Tunnel visions twist, memory on repeat

Riding death like a curse that tastes sweet

Post-Chorus

Sweeter than regret

Deeper with each step

Sweeter than regret

Verse 2

Breathing through black soil, lungs fill with dread

Eardrums on canoes, drifting past what you said

Flashbacks on a loop, you watch yourself drop

Echoes getting sticky, but you never really stop

Pre-Chorus

Every memory melts in the hive of your soul

Thicker and thicker the death-rivers roll

Chorus

Buried alive with your name on the bark

Can you feel the drip as the honey climbs your jaw

Tunnel visions twist, memory on repeat

Riding death like a curse that tastes sweet

Post-Chorus

Sweeter than regret

Deeper with each step

Sweeter than regret

Bridge

Sticky as silence, the pressure starts to buzz

Chewing on memories and swallowing the fuzz

Roots wrap tighter, squeezing out the sun

Split in every direction, nowhere left to run

Verse 3

From a thousand mouths the past is dripping slow

Syrupy phantoms stick between the undertow

My skeleton rattles with sugar and dirt

Dreams collapse like tunnels, now it almost doesn’t hurt

Pre-Chorus

I’m sinking, dissolving, the taste turning raw

Reflections all leaking through honey-coated jaw

Chorus

Buried alive with your name on the bark

Can you feel the drip as the honey climbs your jaw

Tunnel visions twist, memory on repeat

Riding death like a curse that tastes sweet

Post-Chorus

Sweeter than regret

Deeper with each step

Sweeter than regret
