Burying A Parent

(album: My Poison Arms - 2020)

Did you even stop and think for a second
Before you stopped the beat of your heart
Everyday's been hard without you
But I make it through some how

And I swear to god I still hear your singing
To every song at your favorite part
Everyday's been hard without you
But you're six feet under
Can't turn back now

You're gone
So long for right now
911
I need you here right now
And the worst part is nothing can bring you back
(You know that I shouldn't have to bury you)
Did you really have to go? Was it all that bad?
(I'm so sorry)
One last time
Sleep well, I'll be fine
Told you over and over again
(Over and over again)

Everybody said that things would get easier
But pretending is the easiest part
(It's so hard to tell the difference here lately
It's so hard to tell the difference here lately)

There's so much that I wanted to say to you
But I left it on a note in the waiting room
The waiting room
The waiting room
The waiting room

You're gone
So long for right now
911
I need you here right now
And the worst part is nothing can bring you back
(You know that I shouldn't have to bury you)
Did you really have to go? Was it all that bad?
(I'm so sorry)
One last time
Sleep well, I'll be fine
Told you over and over again
(Over and over again)

Sleep well
Now I'll never see your face again
So long oh reality is sinking in
Flatline
Can't get you off my mind
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
I'll be

Life is but a stopping place
A pause in between
To Sweet Eternity
Now I'll never see your face again
And it's killing me
I hope you found your peace

Now I'll never see your face again

Oh reality is setting in
