Although this song was written well over a year before the passing of Grahams grandfather, this song has become a melodic memorial to him.
lyrics
Today my body is dead
Right up from my toes to my head
And the only thing left to hold me together are bones
Last night when I fell asleep
Through the shadows a shadow did creep
And he set fire to my neck and he tied me down with a stone
I was alone
And he said you can fall apart one piece at a time
And I am trying to walk
But I can’t because I am broke
I’m trying to talk and sing but I’m starting to choke
And I am trying to stand
But I am falling apart
I’m doing all that I can, I’m trying to pull at the strings of your heart
Because you can fall apart one piece at a time
When the world starts to fall apart
At least I’ll know that I knew your heart
When the world starts to fall apart
At least I’ll know that you can fall apart one piece at a time
Today my body is dead
Right up from my toes to my head
And the only thing left to hold me together are bones
