Father Death

Everyone’s got bones
And everybody dies
And everybody dries themselves out
Til they’re bones again

And everyone’s got blood
And all the blood runs cold
And all of that cold blood is returned
To the Earth my friends

But there no getting past it:
We’re all leaving here on our own
Just hope when this passes
Y’all are missing me when I’m gone

Sort out your sordid soul
Upturn your tearful eyes
And search the skies for someone
Smart enough to tell you why

That, all of us were made
So all of us must mourn
Who’ll tell the crash test dummy
Just sit back enjoy the ride?

But there no getting past it:
We’re all leaving here on our own
Just hope when this passes
Y’all are missing me when I’m gone
It sting your eyelashes
Hangs in the air you breathe
Father death all around you
Destiny’s sweet reprieve
Bury me
Bury me
