lyrics

Death greets me with compassion
With a warm smile and loving hands
Hands that leak cracked clay and passion
It promised me against the badlands

And so you lay in death beside me
Sun seeping through your coffin
Your apparition all but debris
Death cold in my hands as they soften

The hospital monitors give out
And the silence that proceeds is only death
I’m no longer conscious, no doubt
The weeds tangle and leave my lungs without breath

I never even knew you for that long
But you made life feel like home
My hope was your swan song
Yours was your catacomb

You cared about me so effortlessly
Your caring eyes never looked down
Its dumb but you were a brother to me
And now I hold my head til I drown

Death greets me with calm kindness
With a soft gaze and cold touch
It reflects on its own mindlessness
And leaves me feeling too much
And not enough
