about

Sad song about loss

lyrics

The place where they put you
Hanging heavens display
Some decide to keep it all inside
Underneath the pained way

Burnt offerings are
the way that you wanted to pay
Instead you end up in
a dignified tower built by slaves

I smelled the flowers that were there at his funeral
Everyone said they did a good job with his body

Digging through
the wormy backyard vanguard
Children sing with golden pedal tones
Burnt crisp shags, bundled twined pines in kind and piles of noodled vines

Burnt offerings are all there are to mine
Burnt offerings to ride
Burnt offerings to tell time

I smelled the flowers that were there at her funeral
Everyone said they did a good job with her body
