[Verse 1]
This mayhem all around me
Like a dancing drunkard, watch him go
He's taken full control
Oh no

[Chorus]
So far away I’ll go
And mark my grave, you'll know

[Verse 2]
This mayhem, like a monster
That's swallowing up my entire soul
It haunts me every morning
His breath is like the darkness, black and cold
It swallows it whole

[Chorus]
So far away I’ll go
And mark my grave, you'll know

[Verse 3]
It's burnin' inside me like hot coals
I pray for its ending, it's not so
I've spent every minute attemptin' to befriend it
But it never lets me in, it just grins at me menacing
When will it ever just up and leave?
I'm prayin’ to heaven to help me breathe
The angels, they stand and they smile and they watch, but they never do come down
They just let me bleed out on the steps
I could bow to the God above
But I’m crossin' him out in this plot I dug
I bet I could take me a dive in a lake full of fire to spite ’em and still be not enough
All I want is for him to finally get to talkin' and tellin' me where it is I need to go
But his silence is so damn loud, by the time that he finally does, I'll be deaf and I’ll never know whatever he told
[Chorus]
So far away I'll go
And mark my grave, you'll know
