lyrics

The world starts shrinking slow
Collapsing like a pinhole
And brother don’t you know
There’s no promise for tomorrow
It was just weeks ago
Driving home on 5 north
You said when it was time
You were ready to go

It looked like you were sleeping
You were gray and freezing cold

I finally saw your face
Brushed over like a wax made fake
I knew it wasn’t you
Just the skin you shed on your way
You said that we should dance
But it’s hard to find the strength to
I know you’re better off this way

Just don’t forget we miss you

Rainfall of flowers on your grave
Each bud a heart that you had changed
Loosened my grip on the chrysanthemum they gave me
Watched it slowly fall away
I watched you slowly fall away

It’ll never be the same
