I recall it so well You just lying in your bed Watching tv The same show over and over and over again It was impossible to look And even harder to forget You as white as your bones Your skin caving in
They say you're in a better place But I say it must be hard to face the one who made you this way
You had the fear of god in you You instilled it in me too And by your bedside An ornament of a man who died
They say you're in a better place But I say it must be hard to face the one who made you this way
I smelled that death that ran prominent through the hall And I watched my dad cry for the first time in his whole life And I took your hand substituted by a cold metal latch and we walked And we all took our place in a slew of hugs and handshakes Cause we realized we might all not survive And months went by and the flowers by your grave, they died And so did I Just a little inside
And when your organs stop expanding And you feel like caving in Soul left body abandoned Lord I'll never feel the same again
