Drape me in black linen Cover me with ash Cut me with the pieces of The colored window glass Hurt me with my feelings Torture me with love Reassure me of the fact that I'll never be enough Prepare me for my funeral Lay me in my grave My body is decaying now With the legacy I made Grieve for me like no one else Play my little games Gaze upon my coffin Revel in my pain All rise My body's on display Shown off To those who put me in my grave The first handful Of earth falls On the wooden prison Covering my face You mourn for me With a voice that belies your happiness It didn't matter what I did for you It's not enough Ten years from now A gravestone lies weathered in the rain A bird sits on the edge And defecates What I wouldn't give To be held in the bosom of remembrance But what I get now Is the rain And feces on my tombstone This can't be What I was made for At all This can't fucking be That this is what I leave Behind me This never was My life And I cannot Do this again
