Back in the Grave

Back in the Grave was an instrumental track made for the unfinished VN Faceless. In 2021, I was working on a new song that reused the old lyrics from Back in the Grave. I was in a pretty bad slump at the time, and ended up writing a lot of demos that sounded off/bad, and were thus never finished. Back in the Grave was one of them.

Back in the Grave 2021

Vocals: Lady Parsec
Lyrics

If ever there was a dream,
It's been dead for
A hundred years or more.
I knew that we
Would never revive this cadaver.

I know you hate me, but I
Wish you could be here
To applaud me
For getting over you.
I've broken my chains.

Look at me
And the person I've become.

Sometimes, I still dream that what we
Had was real, but there's
No point in bleeding when it's you
Who is holding the damn knife.
Tell them all how possessive that
I've become, since you
Know slander's the only way that
You can tear me down this time.

All those years, I thought you could
Have been a saviour,
But you were just
A devil in disguise.
I have since put my

Feelings back in their grave,
But sometimes I dig them up just to
Remind myself why I
Should never let you
Gaslight me again.

Sometimes, I still dream that what we
Had was real, but there's
No point in bleeding when it's you
Who is holding the damn knife.
Tell them all how possessive that
I've become, since you
Know slander's the only way that
You can tear me down this time.
