Eulogy

Eulogy

I’ve carved my name into this stone And holes dug by my shoulder bones But now I’m lying all alone Against this mountain face

And yes the sun moves further still Counting out my breaths with will And in the heat, I feel a chill This is my resting place

And though the pain it does rescind Carried out by restless skin Now I think devoid of sin Carved “here rests young Colton Winds” In this place I’m doomed to die Nothing left but sand and sky And I have proved my mother right I really couldn’t have survived

I’ve sunk my knees into this ground And now my spine is breaking down I feel that I am close to found I’m headed for the sky

I hope to hell my head won’t burn And soon enough I’ll take my turn And maybe quick I’ll return But first I’ll lay to die.

Chorus
