Dirtnap Nightmares
Grieves Lyrics

I'll take a breath of that concrete,
I am ready to face reality head-on.

Step into the jungle with a gleam,
I am entering a wild and unpredictable world with confidence.

And move like its trynna kill a dream.
I am determined to fight against obstacles that threaten my aspirations.

Cuz I don't have a bone left in me
I have experienced too much loss and cannot survive death once more.

That'll loan death pity when the grass I'm growin don't green.
Death is inevitable and cannot be stopped, regardless of my situation.

Ode to the screams,
Acknowledging the pain and horror that people have endured because of death.

Bouncing off the glass of the storefront window when the reaper walks past.
The screams are echoes of the past that continue to haunt the present.

We don't have a grasp on the future,
The future is uncertain and cannot be controlled or predicted.

So the past that we're used to,
We cling onto the familiarity of the past for comfort and security.

Is all that we ever want back.
Despite its flaws and limitations, we desire the past due to its familiarity.

Running with the axe,
Taking action and fighting against the inevitability of death.

Trynna chop the whole world down,
Attempting to gain power and control over the world and its forces.

Trynna fight your little trip to the ground,
Trying to defy the laws of nature that dictate our mortality.

Cuz you don't wanna see the truth,
Reality of death is frightening and difficult to accept.

Of the last breath made when the smooth song plays to the silence of sound.
The beauty of life fades away into silence and emptiness upon death.

Yeah you will be found.
Death will come for everyone eventually, regardless of their efforts to avoid it.

And whether or not you want it to happen,
Death is an unavoidable aspect of life that will happen regardless of our desires.

I can guarantee it will go down.
Death is a universal and inevitable experience.

SO stop with the fighting,
Acceptance of death is necessary and fighting against it is futile.

We're all kind of frightened,
The fear of death is a common and understandable experience.

But I don't see the purpose in trynna cheat death.
Attempts to cheat death are useless and cannot be sustained in the long term.

I'm so sick of this pace
The endless cycle of life and death is exhausting and overwhelming.

Running around in circles trynna skip his blade.
Trying to evade death is a futile and relentless pursuit.

You cannot hide from forever,
Death is an unavoidable aspect of life that nobody can escape indefinitely.

Inside from the weather,
Despite our attempts to avoid death, it will continue to affect us internally.

On the day you planned escape,
Our plans and preparations for avoiding death are ultimately futile.

He'll find you down and out, high and dry,
Death will come for us at any moment, unexpectedly and without warning.

Leave you face down dead in your ways,
Death will leave us powerless and motionless in the face of our mortality.

I can't go anywhere.
The inevitability of death confines us to the finite nature of our existence on this earth.

Everywhere that i turn, i see you're all that I know.
Death is an omnipresent theme and reality in life that cannot be avoided.

I see it all from perspective,
Acknowledging the inevitability of death and its impact on our lives.

Floating on a dark cloud casted over fear of the view of where death is.
The unknown nature of death provokes fear and anxiety in our minds.

Live by the setlist,
Following a predetermined plan and routine in life.

Never say die with a fist in the air till the world stops spinning and we're breathless.
A defiant and unyielding approach to life, trying to defy the inevitable nature of death.

Damn, running from a natural advance that'll end with you lyin where you stand.
Running away from death is pointless, as it will inevitably consume and end our lives.

And i can see the fear in the end of it,
The fear of death is a legitimate and understandable experience.

But never had ran,
Accepting and facing death with the dignity and poise it deserves

Cuz never dying doesn't seem to be a plan.
The inevitability of death is an undeniable reality that cannot be avoided.

SO i live for the moment,
Focusing on the present and cherishing every moment of life.

Never let the dark cloak change me, or make me be a person that I'm not.
Resisting the fear and anxiety that death imposes on the mind and soul.

Cuz if I'm gonna die now,
Acknowledging that death can come at any moment and living each day accordingly.

Then I'd rather die proud,
If this is the end, I will go out with my head held high and my dignity intact.

For the fact that I went out and gave it everything I got.
Leaving behind a legacy of living life to the fullest and pursuing dreams with passion.

Name in the rock,
Leaving a tangible and permanent mark of one's existence on this earth.

Rose on the ground in the grass that'll grow in the soil of my plot,
Acknowledging the temporary and transient nature of existence on this earth, and the eventual decay and return of the body to the earth.

When I laid down to rest.
Accepting the inevitability of death and finding peace in it.

Carving in the stone or a crest.
Leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations.

Never cheat life to cheat death.
Rejecting a life of fear and anxiety and embracing the beauty of life, even in the face of death.

[Chorus]
Reiterating the theme of the song, acknowledging the inevitability of death and its impact on life.
