When I Die

[Chorus]
When I die
I need a friend who's really ballsy
To poke holes into my body and be kind if you can
And plant a seed in every place
I want flowers growing out of my face
And bury me
In a shallow grave

[Verse 1]
And if the wolves get to me first
Well, that's okay

[Chorus]
And when I die
Don't let the government know I'm done
So they can't hold my rotting corpse
Over the heads of my loved ones

[Verse 2]
And plant a tree, a mushroom, or two
Whatever I once meant to you
But don't let the government know it's true
To them I'm off the grid, that's nothing new

[Verse 3]
And I can hope to be a tree
Just like I hope to be someone
But I think hope is just a human thing
And I bet

[Chorus]
When I'm done
I won't give a fuck
But it's just my luck
That I'm a human now
So please turn me into a garden
As much as nature will allow

{♪]

[Chorus]
And when I die
You tell your boss you had a best, best friend
Who came to a quite tragic end
I hope it wasn't true

[Verse 4]
But take a day, a week, or two
To rest or cry but whatever you do
Don't let the government know that it's true
To them I'm off the grid, that's nothing new

[Chorus]
And when I die
Will you visit in a year?
I hope there's roses in my ear
And a willow in my gut
Take all my things, all that I had
I'll prolly die a bum
I hope I'm glad
I'm sorry if I left anyone sad

[Verse 5]
But I hope I did more good
Than I did bad

[Verse 6]
And I swear that love's a curse
But it's the best one that we've got
I'm kinda scared to be a lonely tree
I hope that I'm not

[Verse 7]
But
Hope is still a human thing
And I'm a human now
So please
Let's become a forest
As much as nature will allow

[Verse 8]
And if you don't wanna be a tree
Well, I'll still love you so
If you're my friend until the end
I guess that's as far as it can go

[Outro]
And I'll be a tree, and you'll turn to ash
Or maybe six feet below
It doesn't matter much
As long as the government doesn't know
