lyrics



AFTERLIFE


No, my friends,
I know my faults,
I leave the path,
I look for loss,
I hold my roots
over my head,
rainbow crack,
inherit debt.
There are no walls here,
just us doors.
Days recede,
I keep my score.
I know my friends,
the cricket's morse.
I was asked
to answer Heaven's door.


I've been over love.
I've been over knees.
I've been over sized.
I've been over seas.
I've been under knives.
I've been under mined.
I've been after love.
I've been after life.
I've gone after life.


I know my friends,
they don't know me.
I don't keep up
with short and sweet
black wax evening
out her eyes.
A school of birds
swim in the sky.
Water glasses,
holy rose,
the doorknob shakes,
put on your clothes.


Dehydration.
Dehydration.
Dehydration.
Dehydration.


Fortune tells you twice.
What you want to hear.
Try to rest in peace.
Falling like a leaf.
Rest in peace.
