Just a Book

There's a scroll you've yet to read out loud
 Get rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling out
 Rolling out the red like blood spill and I will be
 Holding, holding, holding, holding on
 Say what you need to
 Your stones cannot bare like threats of a snare
 So tear up these words like they're meat for the hungry
 The 'nobody told me'(s)
 These words, nobody ever hears
 Just a book to be read
 Waiting on the seabed
 Under the weighty waves
 For years
 To the press we'll take it shave off slim pay offs for
 Turning, turning, turning, turning out
 All the leaves of all the tree breasts we use for the chests
 Now burning, burning, burning, burning
 Our candles both ends but
 Are you not tempted? Empty and rented
 Looting your temples and making example
 Pack-like to handle and
 These words, nobody ever hears
 Just a book to be read
 Waiting on the seabed
 Under the weighty waves
 For years
 Call, call them out
 From under the decks of wrecks and I'll bet you all
 They'll be loud
 Louder than thunder but silent in slumber
 These words, nobody ever hears
 Just a book to be read
 Waiting on the seabed
 Under the weighty waves
 For years
