Mashable confirms the rather obvious:
Album opener “Open Casket” is about [Weiss’s] “uninspired” friends from back home who “want my neck hangin' high up on a noose,” but Weiss hits back in a biting way: “I’d feel better as a corpse/ Than a boring [bitter] living thing.”
[Verse 1]
My friends from where I'm from are all a wreck
Hanging high up on a horse
Hanging heavy from their old routines
They wake up still uninspired with no regrets
Hungover and divorced, they torch their twenties like it's kerosene
[Chorus]
Carrying on and on
I can't decide
If I should stay or sleep outside
With that look of sheer distress from left to right
[Verse 2]
My friends from where I'm from, they want my neck
Hanging high up on a noose
Hanging heavy from the guillotine

With that look of sheer distress from left to right
[Bridge]
You showed up late, per usual
But you wore my favorite dress
And then there's me, as always, just a mess
Just like always, I'm just a mess
[Outro]
My friends from where I'm from are all a wreck
My friends from where I'm from are all a wreck
