casey (uk) - the funeral lyrics
once again, my caution bends to soft amnesia as i forget that i’ve been here before
the melatonin fails again, and melancholy settles in
my mouth neglects the shape of words that i know you adored
and every night it hurts a little more
and i can’t seem to satiate
the sadness that still resonates
every bone in me will break
beneath the weight of guilt that i can’t place
if my happiness isn’t permanent, then i am no more than a surrogate father
lead to the alter to marry the mother despite all of my reservations
if the joy that i feel is so juvenile, how do i reconcile all the aggression that i seem to harbour?
the selfish depression that makes it so hard to feel loved?
promise me you’ll stay a while, i know i ask you all the time
must be getting hard to pretend
and safe in the warmth of the sun i let myself undress
revealing wounds that time neglects
hesitant, i acquiesce to the softest embrace of your bed
where shamefully i supplicate
for anything that seems to soothe my aches
watch me as i dissipate
dissolve into a solvent fear of change
despondency bleeds into everything
removing my hands from the wheel of the vehicle
i couldn’t care at all
sing me to sleep with my mellifluous misery
drunk and delusional, numb at the funeral
love was once sacrosanct, but now it resembles the sound of a language that i am scared to speak
