Quadruple Milk - afuneralfortheliving Lyrics

Drape me in black linen
Cover me with ash
Cut me with the pieces of
The colored window glass

Hurt me with my feelings
Torture me with love
Reassure me of the fact that I'll never be enough

Prepare me for my funeral
Lay me in my grave
My body is decaying now
With the legacy I made

Grieve for me like no one else
Play my little games
Gaze upon my coffin
Revel in my pain

All rise
My body's on display
Shown off
To those who put me in my grave

The first handful
Of earth falls
On the wooden prison
Covering my face

You mourn for me
With a voice that belies your happiness
It didn't matter what I did for you
It's not enough

Ten years from now
A gravestone lies weathered in the rain

A bird sits on the edge
And defecates

What I wouldn't give
To be held in the bosom of remembrance

But what I get now
Is the rain
And feces on my tombstone

This can't be
What I was made for
At all

This can't f*cking be
That this is what I leave
Behind me

This never was
My life
And I cannot
Do this again
