Graves

Its Raskolnikov

Graves everywhere,

In the end, life is only fair,

Death is the great equalizer,

One day you'll get there,

Whether you're a saint or a womanizer,

Whether they call you peasant or Kaiser,

 

Walk through the park,

Do you see the bright or do you see the dark?

I see all the sharks,

All the paths that won't be paved,

All the past soldiers so brave,

All the pastors whom's souls need saved,

All the nations whom's leaders are knaves,

And those who look down on you cause you can't afford a shave,

This is where we are. Is this the world you crave?

 

Partners whom's love others receive,

Do you think you can tell?

Is it just paranoia or have they put another under the spell?

Sometimes you have to ask if they are constant,

If they still love you for real,

If the love you shared they still feel,

Is their heart still yours to steal?

 

All the trains running rampant,

All the pains killing infants,

All the snows on summer hills,

All the daffodils in winter chills,

This thing you call an adulteress,

He still calls her his love,

His princess,

To him she’s still beautiful in that dress,

They still love each other,

And even though her affair hit the press,

They both still beg for the other’s warm caress,

Cause even if you judge them they don't care,

They know in the end, no matter what,

There'll be graves everywhere,
