Bury This Story

Lyrics

Sand drifts across empty ground.
A scarf snaps violently in the wind.

Do you remember my name…?

I walked through storms no soul survived
Watched entire kingdoms fade from time
And every road I tried to leave
Just buried deeper under me
Now mirrors crack before my face
Like even they forget my shape
And every strand of fading hair
Falls like a memory into air

The desert doesn’t mourn the lost…
It only swallows what it wants…

IT’S TIME I BURY THIS STORY!
Let the sand erase the sky!
If the world forgot my name—
Then I’ll make sure nothing survives!
Every footprint disappears
Every memory drowned in fear
And when the final storm arrives—
No one will remember why
So let the wind sing for me now…
It’s time I bury this story down…

This scarf was once a warmer thing
Before the storms became my skin
Before my eye turned bloodshot red
From staring too long at the dead
Now voices vanish when I speak
Like history itself grows weak
And every town I wander through
Feels emptier than the last one knew

I used to beg the world to see…
Now I just want it buried with me…

IT’S TIME I BURY THIS STORY!
Let the dunes consume the light!
If fate can tear apart a soul—
Then I’ll return the favor tonight!
Every name becomes the dust
Every promise breaks to rust
And when the storm devours the dawn—
No one will know where hope has gone

There was a time…
I think…
Someone waited for me…
But the wind took that too…
Now all I hear…
Are ghosts beneath the sand…

The storm spins faster…
Skin to sand…
Memory to silence…
Man to myth…

IT’S TIME I BURY THIS STORY!
LET THE HEAVENS CHOKE ON SAND!
IF I MUST FADE FROM EVERYTHING—
THEN I’LL DRAG THE WORLD DOWN WITH MY HANDS!
No songs remain! No names survive!
No stars will pierce this endless night!
And somewhere in the storm’s last cry—
A forgotten man finally dies…

The scarf falls still.
Only sand remains.

Now… forget me…
