lyrics

...real long life full of bad nights, okay so close the blinds
and turn off all of the lights, for the last time
real hard time getting down from this one, i hope where you’re going is peaceful.
for you, and only you. now sleep easy. easier than you have been, my friend
tough one out and i hope it didn’t hurt, bravely turning back into light inside the dirt.
what’s the last song that you heard? i begged the question to the trees in your backyard.
the ones that held you but can’t repeat any final words,
of yours of course they don’t. pushed yourself over the edge, no warning.
no more nights and no more mornings. they found you and held you close
as long as they could before someone else takes you away, always acting too late
maybe you fulfilled our purpose, supposed to lay back down underneath the surface.
pull the earth up as a blanket, six feet of dirt a long rest real deserved.
until one night the moonlight dimmed out and turned to black
and you turned as blue as the eyes you once had
how they’d pierce through mine and make them shine right back!
were you making white air to become the white clouds up there?
up there just swaying, up there just smiling, up there in the moonlight, last night...
