LYRICS Good grief and grace turned their backs to me Pushed shovels into the cold soil In a pulse-racing second they gave up on their awful toil Hell on earth, in hate they turned to face me Stuck knuckles into each of my eyes And a drunken-thumbed stranger put pain to the constant cry With my head in my hands I resolved to die alone Now I’ve finally found a good reason to grow old, a good reason to Rapture and love brought me dancing Lit up every last heartbroken lie In the ecstasy of everything the death I had wanted expired Bitterness and loss caught me laughing Asked why my expression had changed After years in such company they’d never seen the look on my face With my head in my hands I resolved to die alone Now I’ve finally found a good reason to grow old I was ready to drown in the afterlife, not anymore That I’ve finally found a good reason to grow old, good reason to Oh, how she murders morbid thought Oh, plunges a knife into the suicide in my blood Oh, how she murders morbid thought Oh, plunges a knife into the suicide and I am born Turn your back to the afterlife Kick dust into the eyes of all Turn your back to the afterlife Climb out of your shallow hole (As far as I know, no official lyrics have been released, so these are just my best guess at transcribing them.
