A Thousand Hatchets Lyrics by Matthew Spencer

Consumed By War

2024

There's a thousand hatchets I wish I could bury
There's a thousand hatchets I wish I could sink
Now six feet below
Lies the wreckage of a home
When a thousand matches light the sanctuary
I'll never be safe
I surrender everything tonight
Do you remember me
I regret the wars I tried to fight
And now many years later I see the monster I really am
I realize that I
Was the demon that made you hide
There's a thousand hatchets I wish I could bury
There's a thousand hatchets I wish I could sink
Now six feet below
Lies the wreckage of a home
When a thousand matches light the sanctuary
I'll never be safe
My deepest regret is
Wanting us to die
Surrender to the flames
Burning me inSIDE
(There's a thousand hatchets I wish) I could bury
(CONSUMED BY THE) HATE I FELT INSIDE
(There's a thousand hatchets I wish) I could sink
I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE
(Now) six feet below
Lies the wreckage of a home
When a thousand matches light the sanctuary
I'll never be safe
I ask myself what have I made
My world is sinking
Tear my house in disarray
What was I thinking
NOW THESE HORRORS NEVER WILL LET ME GO
LET ME GO AND LEAVE THE GRAVE
TOTAL DEVASTATION THAT I'VE ATTAINED
I LIT THE FLAMES AND ASKED WHY I BURN
I ASK WHY I BURN
WHY DID I BURN
I'LL NEVER LEARN WHEN THE EVIL IS ME
Now six feet below
Lies the wreckage of a home
When a thousand matches light the sanctuary
I'll never be safe
