Casket
I've always had a way with words
But with you I'd only trip
Always make the same mistakes
I could never get a grip
You told me what you'd need from me
But I never came around
However high you held me up
I'd only let you down
I'm a casket better kept closed
But a griever needs to grieve
I'm sorry I kept you out
I couldn't let you see
I'll watch the sun burn out
I'll watch the dirt turn grey
I'll watch the sky crack open
And I won't feel a thing
And when the tide comes in
And I'm taken by the sea
I wouldn't bat an eye
If it meant you were here with me
I'll watch the sun burn out
I'll watch the dirt turn grey
I'll watch the sky crack open
And I won't feel a thing
And when the tide comes in
And I'm taken by the sea
I wouldn't bat an eye
If it meant you were here with me
I often think of the pond that night
The last time that we met
I think of how you asked me to go
And how I never went
I don't think about the future much
But in the rare case that I do
I think of doing all the things
That I should be doing with you
I'm a casket better kept closed
But a griever needs to grieve
I'm sorry I kept you out
I couldn't let you see
I'll watch the sun burn out
I'll watch the dirt turn grey
I'll watch the sky crack open
And I won't feel a thing
And when the tide comes in
And I'm taken by the sea
I wouldn't bat an eye
If it meant you were here with me
And when the lights fade out
There's nothing left to see
When my chest splits open
And there's no air to breathe
When the ground starts shaking
It would be like a dream
Watching the mountains break
If you were standing next to me
I wrote you your letter
Almost two years too late
I made you your card
18 months delayed
I should've left them sooner
I wish that I would have stayed
Turned around and spent the night
On your final day
I've accepted that it's all my fault
And that I could've stayed
I know you always did your best
To quell the fires that I made
I hope you know I think of you
Nearly every single day
So if hurting me is what you need
Then gouge away, gouge away
But with you I'd only trip
Always make the same mistakes
I could never get a grip
You told me what you'd need from me
But I never came around
However high you held me up
I'd only let you down
I'm a casket better kept closed
But a griever needs to grieve
I'm sorry I kept you out
I couldn't let you see
I'll watch the sun burn out
I'll watch the dirt turn grey
I'll watch the sky crack open
And I won't feel a thing
And when the tide comes in
And I'm taken by the sea
I wouldn't bat an eye
If it meant you were here with me
I'll watch the sun burn out
I'll watch the dirt turn grey
I'll watch the sky crack open
And I won't feel a thing
And when the tide comes in
And I'm taken by the sea
I wouldn't bat an eye
If it meant you were here with me
I often think of the pond that night
The last time that we met
I think of how you asked me to go
And how I never went
I don't think about the future much
But in the rare case that I do
I think of doing all the things
That I should be doing with you
I'm a casket better kept closed
But a griever needs to grieve
I'm sorry I kept you out
I couldn't let you see
I'll watch the sun burn out
I'll watch the dirt turn grey
I'll watch the sky crack open
And I won't feel a thing
And when the tide comes in
And I'm taken by the sea
I wouldn't bat an eye
If it meant you were here with me
And when the lights fade out
There's nothing left to see
When my chest splits open
And there's no air to breathe
When the ground starts shaking
It would be like a dream
Watching the mountains break
If you were standing next to me

To quell the fires that I made
I hope you know I think of you
Nearly every single day
So if hurting me is what you need
Then gouge away, gouge away
