They Can't Bury Us Now

This pain has existed before we were born
And now it rests in our fucking bones
But they can’t hurt you now
They can’t touch you now
The gift of survival has been granted to us
And now our coffins have all splintered and cracked
So they can’t hurt you now
They can’t touch you now
They can’t bury you now
They can’t hurt you
You’ve walked through fear
Chose to believe in something
I see it in you
They can’t bury you now
They can’t hurt you
You’ve lived below the surface so long
Your eyes adjusted to their lonely lives

Eulogy

There stays a ringing in my ears
When your mother told me you were dead
How I wished it was old age, quietly asleep in some comfortable bed
The sun will set again and again
Believe this truth we are your friends
No one was smiling in the end
Now no one is smiling, no one is smiling
Where are you now? I still need you.
There stays the heat on my face when they told me you were all alone
Curled up, turning blue on some fucking bathroom floor
The sun will set again and again
Believe this truth we are your friends
No one was smiling in the end
Now no one is smiling, no one is smiling
Where are you now? I still need you.
No one will teach us how to grieve
No one will teach us how to heal
No one will teach us how to grieve
No one will teach us how to heal
Earth and nature won’t bring you back to me
So here’s your eulogy
Here’s your eulogy
The sun will set again and again
Believe this truth we are your friends
No one was smiling in the end
Now no one is smiling, no one is smiling
Where are you now?
I still need you.

No Headstone

Look at them, falling fast asleep
There is no fear before they dream
Nothing stops, no nothing stops
Nothing stops, nothing stops
The crashing is always loud
The shadows have all shut me out
All I see is an end
Look at them falling fast asleep
There is no fear before they dream
No one is singing, no one is singing
No one is singing songs for me
Swallowed whole, no memory
No headstone please
No memory, no memories
Look at them falling

Something Better
03:30

The most powerful smell of wasted days gone by
As I wait for a casket carried by flies,
“Here lies a coward, a person who never tried”
Waiting in the darkest corners of your mind
No light is welcome here
Happiness and love can not reach
And hope left so long ago
And that’s fine
Finding comfort in the pain
I deserve this
This is how it always is
Nothing will change
My ashes return to clay
But maybe none of this is true
And it is so possible to change
And maybe pain does exist
Only as a lesson
I see so much clearer now
shattered lenses of my past
So tired of fear
We deserve something better
So tired of fear
We don’t deserve this
I’m learning to live for myself
And it isn’t any less beautiful
