Honey Ride of the Dead (Extended 1)

Prelude

Cold fingers crawl, straps hold me tight

I taste copper and static, flickering light

Surgeon’s faces blur, I’m numb to the sound

Ceiling tiles spin as my blood runs aground

Awake while I’m leaving, vision leaks slow

Eardrums implode as the soul starts to flow

Riding the current where flesh can’t remain

Air canoe’s waiting at the edge of my brain

Intro

Blood on the tiles, cold silence and dread

Hands moving quick while my vision turns red

Pulled from my body, I’m slipping away

Liquid like honey, my senses decay

Verse 1

Steel needle’s whisper, veins running dry

Eardrums collapsing as doctors pass by

Air canoe waiting, drifting from bone

Funeral fix-up, I’m trapped and alone

My mind unravels, no hiding the truth

Death scenes repeated in permanent loop

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead

Everything I was slips from my head

Air canoe pullin' me through

I feel it all, I’m stuck in this view

Post-Chorus

Rotting underground, pain surrounds

Honey overflow, can’t slow down

Verse 2

Sucked out, silent, under neon casket’s gleam

They stitch my shell up neat, but I scream

Bloodless chill, my soul knows the score

Trip out while shovels crash, dirt at the door

Pre-Chorus

Scenes on repeat, turnin’ inside out

I rot in the pain, you don’t hear me shout

My eardrum’s honey, drip, stuck in decay

Watching the burial, slipping away

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead

Everything I was slips from my head

Air canoe pullin' me through

I feel it all, I’m stuck in this view

Post-Chorus

Rotting underground, pain surrounds

Honey overflow, can’t slow down

Post-Chorus

Rotting underground, pain surrounds

Honey overflow, can’t slow down

Bridge

Under polished marble, echoes crawl slow

I taste my own memory, thick and low

Fluid turns honey, siphoned from my skull

Shadows gather closer, burial rites dull

Verse 3

Nailed shut silence, rot the only friend

Flash of old faces, smeared at the end

Eardrums dissolving, syrup in my head

Sinking deeper still, chained to the dead

Rewind every wound, live it once more

Can't run from the rot oozing out the floor

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead

Everything I was slips from my head

Air canoe pullin' me through

I feel it all, I’m stuck in this view

Post-Chorus

Dripping in honey, stuck below ground

Lost in the pain, I can't be found
