Body in a Box

I moved a forest with a match 
I've talked to ghosts of my past 
I've seen people made of wax 
I only know sorrow when I laugh 
Pestilence will keep me going 
Long enough to see me choking 
To reminisce of days gone 
Place my body in a box 
Burn a lantern when I'm hauled 
Too much confliction to bear alone 
I am sand, you are stone. 
I am glass, I am gone. 
You are winter, you are a throne 
Bludgeoned into bone... 
Chartreuse scarring a weakened tongue 
A sharpened message to whom and from? 
A man of nothing, and no one. 
Damn the bullet, damn the gun. 
One-click left to taste the warm.
