The Funeral - FODÉ

I can't leave my bed but I can't sleep I got no clean clothes and I can't eat And I smoke too much 'til I can't breathe I'm emotional, I'll always be And I hate myself, but that's alright And I love myself, but that's alright And I tell myself that it's alright That I dream about the day I die To my surprise, there's no one to blame Nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame I've been dancing at my funeral Waitin' for you to arrive I was hoping you'd look beautiful Dancin' with tears in your eyes But nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame My hair fell out 'cause I dyed it cheap I want a real fake smile, but I hate my teeth I wanna tell you that I love you, but I just can't speak I got a fucked-up soul and an STD Do you hate yourself? Well, that's alright Do you love yourself? Well, that's alright Do you tell yourself that it's alright That you dream about the day you die? To my surprise, there's no one to blame Nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame I've been dancing at my funeral Waitin' for you to arrive I was hoping you'd look beautiful Dancin' with tears in your eyes But nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh I wanna prove my love before I leave I wanna make you come and scrape my knees Want you to bite my tongue until I bleed And you can put these fuckin' words in my obituary We all hate ourselves, well, that's alright We all love ourselves, well, that's alright We all tell ourselves that it's alright That we dream about the day we die I've been dancing at my funeral Waitin' for you to arrive I was hoping you'd look beautiful Dancin' with tears in your eyes But nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame Nobody came, what a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame!

Now that I'm gone will you come visit me And leave some roses by my misery Bury my soul 6 Feet deep You can say nice shit like I meant something I'm already numb I don't feel the sting So touch who you want You'll just wish it's me Cause you gave up after everything And I think that you got off way too easy Cut me off And now you blossom I'm in the ground And my bones are rotting At least when I'm dead I'll be forgotten I'm a zombie but I'm still alive I feel like I'm dead cause you gave me life It feels really bad with you out of my life When I turned my back Guess you had a knife Now I toss and I turn in a lonely grave I drown in the blood of our memory I wish when we split that the feeling was mutual Fuck a heartbreak song this is a funeral Oo Oo Yeah Oo Oo Yeah Yeah Yeah I put our memories in a basket and burned it You closed up the casket to hide that I'm hurting Alone in all black I'm the only one Mourning the loss of what we were Yo, fuck Stuart Little You Broke me down now I always feel nervous Cause you slit my neck and attended the service Baby we're human but we were so perfect I'm glad to find out that my presence was worthless Cut me off And now you flower Using my body like fertilizer Saying you're glad for the time we spent Is like burning a body that's not even dead I'm a zombie but I'm still alive I feel like I'm dead cause you gave me life It feels really bad with you out of my life When I turned my back Guess you had a knife Now I toss and I turn in a lonely grave I drown in the blood of our memory I wish when we split that the feeling was mutual Fuck a heartbreak song this is a funeral Oo Oo yeah This is the funeral Oo Oo Yeah Wish it was mutual Oo Oo yeah This is the funeral Oo Oo Yeah I'm a zombie but I'm still alive I feel like I'm dead cause you gave me life It feels really bad with you out of my life When I turned my back Guess you had a knife Now I toss and I turn in a lonely grave I drown in the blood of our memory I wish when we split that the feeling was mutual Fuck a heartbreak song this is a funeral

You wait by the window Morning's breath on the sill Idle hands given another try So you wait and you savour the moment Outside the canvas turned white Ruby eyes in the fog Rain washing clean all the sins A liquid gown that covers all Your loathe turns endless Opened mirage soothes your sense Locked on the pinnacle The best secret within Like a derelict child Heart burning for a stranger Ascending to the meek Flock round the liars in awe Caked in the soil beneath Fear me when we meet Turn away in admiration My firm grip round the nucleus of joy Enough of this You will leave me now You will see it now Perish at my hands Close to you Tangled up in hair Fresh stigma looks Shall I take you with me And it is cold Ruby eyes in the fog It is me And you are just like them all Stained by the names of fathers I'm greeting my downward fall Leaving the throes to others

Two pale figures ache in silence Timeless in the quiet ground Side by side in age and sadness I watched and acted wordlessly As piece by piece you performed your story Moving through an unknown past Dancing at the funeral party Memories of children's dreams Lie lifeless Fading lifeless Hand in hand with fear and shadows Crying at the funeral party I heard a song and turned away As piece by piece you performed your story Noiselessly across the floor Dancing at the funeral party
