I Dont Rot The Way You Hoped

Intro You packed the dirt down with your heel

Verse 1 You packed the dirt down with your heel Said a few words you didn't mean Wore my brother's borrowed jacket Kept your fingernails clean Thought the lid would be the ending Thought the hymn would close the door But I been down here listening And I'm patient like before

Pre-Chorus Sleep don't come the way you planned There's dirt beneath your hand

Chorus I don't rot the way you hoped Six foot down and I still talk You can shovel over what you did But the dead keep a longer clock

Verse 2 You sold the truck, you sold the acres Spent the money quick and loud But you flinch at every shovel And you can't abide a crowd Every harvest comes up crooked Every dog won't cross my row Funny how a planted secret Always finds its way to grow

Pre-Chorus Sleep don't come the way you planned There's dirt beneath your hand

Chorus I don't rot the way you hoped Six foot down and I still talk You can shovel over what you did But the dead keep a longer clock

Bridge You didn't kill a man, you seeded one Put me where the roots run deep Now I'm in the well, I'm in the rafters I'm the thing that walks your sleep I don't rot the way you hoped Six foot down and I still talk You can shovel over what you did But the dead keep a longer clock

Outro I don't rot the way you hoped And you'll meet me when you stop
