lyrics

[Intro]
You will die alone. Sad, cold and alone.
Pulled from your home and left to die
on the crest of the side of the road
Deep in the desert like the dog you are
With shit for company but the stars
X marks the spot on the plot of land
you chose to bury the bones long ago..

[Verse]
This is your true home
Take your rightful place
as the spiteful face on the tombstone
It's pitiful, really, that this is your legacy:
To toss around a cross and crown peasantly
Though you got 'em from the lost and found
You're a dog of a piss poor pedigree
You know nothing of royalty
And you know nothing of loyalty
In your last days, we will expect directions
to the mass grave in question
In your last days, there will be no acceptance
of death bed confessions
You've had a lifetime to apologize for all the lies
and try to make a difference
I will not lie. You will die without my forgiveness
In your last days, you can claim
you were ashamed and scared
But your kids aren't stupid
We know the truth is you just didn't care

[Verse]
It wasn't enough that he was beating you
You'd poke and provoke him
'til the girls got beaten too
Such a motherly thing to do.
I don't know how you sleep
I hope it fucking eats at you
And you judge me for how I'm getting through?
You've only supported us if it benefited you
And you wonder why
I've said such nasty shit to you
'cause you know what I didn't do?
Condone child abuse and lie about it
So here I stand. As I am.
A product of my surroundings
I know you didn't really tap your foot and point
but for the first 12 years
I didn't really have a choice
And 12 years later I'm shaking a fist
at the path that you've paved me
As much as it pains me to admit,
I've done shit to Avery
in the midst of being angry
I'm not proud of it but with tears
in our eyes she forgave me
And that's the difference between you and I
I won't let the rage enslave me

[Interlude]
All I ever wanted was an admission of guilt
Problem solved, wrongs absolved
Watch the walls dissolve of the prison you built
All we ever wanted was an admission of guilt
And you couldn't even do that
Like a pig in shit, you'd rather sit in your filth
But-

[Bridge]
You say "those days have died.
Dead, gone, buried alive - so leave it."
There's reason for burying your secrets
The problem is they survived
And-

[Hook] x2
It's not worth my time
to watch you gag and suffer
I just wanna be there (to laugh)
when Satan drags you under

..into the elephant graveyard
..into the elephant graveyard
out in the elements with the elephants
..in the elephant graveyard

about

SinsHere Reno, Nevada

MC. Poet. Sincere. Growing up in a broken home, SinsHere found writing at the tender age of 8 and began using words to interpret his surroundings. What initially began as a defense mechanism quickly transformed into a passion for the art of hip-hop. His stage name may hint at the sincerity in his lyrics but his brutal honesty shines through and hold it's own next to D-Minor’s mesmerizing beats. ... more
