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 02:35
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 01:56
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

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
