Funeral Singer - Norma Jean

It’s been so many years since the first time I died

The vultures have been gone for so long

The past starts again

But now it’s all been covered in ash

Dust yourself off and shine your bones cause

We’ve got a long way to go

I am the king of love to hate

You said we’d be together forever

I hope my candor doesn’t piss you off

But I wasn’t joking

Forever’s the last word I want to hear come out of your mouth

You are unchanged, why?

And no matter how it looks

I’m just now realizing they look better awake

Then they ever did asleep

The pieces are bursting together

I’ve been trying for so long to place them

Circles inside squares sparing and spoiling…

And now finally I’ve left

Burning and gasping for life

You’re drowning, but you’re not, you won’t

You are unchanged, why?

Unchanged.

How?

This is the only way.

Spit out the candles that keep me away from you

This is not an invitation.

This is my plea

I want to lay down in the trap you set for me

And wait in peace for you

I’m bleeding from the inside but nothing can protect myself from you

I want to lay down next to you and forget the world

The only people that exist are you and I

I want to look you in the eyes and count my blessings

You are so much more than just my other half

I’m telling you right now, I’d sell my soul for you
