Rule #21 - Memento Mori

Fish In a Birdcage

Compositor: Dustan Townsend

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Filling up my coffee cup
One way to shake me up
I never wanted to sleep
Oh I won't forget
Momento mori, leaves a debt

And then it swallowed me
I never wanted to sleep
My suit stayed the same
Can't remember my own name
Inside a timeless cage
I never wanted to sleep

Like a muzzled hound
I'm tied and bound
A wild beast crying for release
I want my mouth so I may howl
And share with silence of the trees

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Filling up my coffee cup
One way to shake me up
I never wanted to sleep
My bones became a drip
Now that I've had my sip
After a little taste
I never wanted to sleep

Like a muzzled hound
I'm tied and bound
A wild beast crying for release
I want my mouth so I may howl
And share with silence of the trees

I never wanted to sleep
I never wanted
