The Service
The service took place
Inside of an old church
Did you still believe in god?
Is this what you would want?
Surrounded by people
That I've never met,
Giving condolences
Faces I'll forget
We all got dressed up
And we sat in the pews
Time stood still
I didn't know what to do
The first time
I'd felt death
Is my last memory
Of you
I watched my mother
Give your eulogy
She hardly met my eyes
I think she saw you in me
I watched my mother
Give your eulogy
The hurt in the room
The weight of your body
Death be not proud
She said
Death be not proud
I wish I spoke
I wish I could've cried
I wish could've looked
My own mother in the eyes
You left a mark on me
I had never expected
You left a mark on me
I had never expected
I know I should've done more
A family I neglected
Months have passed, I still think of you often
The weight of your body in the coffin
I lay you down and hear that awful sound
My mother's cry as we carry you out
Months have passed, I still think of you often
The weight of your body carrying your coffin
A family unfamiliar
The coldest day that winter
Months have passed, I still think of you often
The weight of your body in the coffin
The weight of your body in the coffin
I never want to go through this again
Inside of an old church
Did you still believe in god?
Is this what you would want?
Surrounded by people
That I've never met,
Giving condolences
Faces I'll forget
We all got dressed up
And we sat in the pews
Time stood still
I didn't know what to do
The first time
I'd felt death
Is my last memory
Of you
I watched my mother
Give your eulogy
She hardly met my eyes
I think she saw you in me
I watched my mother
Give your eulogy
The hurt in the room
The weight of your body
Death be not proud
She said
Death be not proud
I wish I spoke
I wish I could've cried
I wish could've looked
My own mother in the eyes
You left a mark on me
I had never expected
You left a mark on me
I had never expected
I know I should've done more
A family I neglected
Months have passed, I still think of you often
The weight of your body in the coffin
I lay you down and hear that awful sound
My mother's cry as we carry you out
Months have passed, I still think of you often
The weight of your body carrying your coffin
A family unfamiliar
The coldest day that winter
Months have passed, I still think of you often
The weight of your body in the coffin
The weight of your body in the coffin
I never want to go through this again
