The Boatman

Watching my world fall apart
Preparing for this cold and misplacing my heart
All that I have is slipping away
I'm doing my best to keep it with me
Faking a smile, lie to myself
Life isn't fair, what the fuck am I to do? What's left to do?
Form placing my hopes in your hands
To drowning out the one
Forgetting everything in this place
Using this place to make my way through
Doing the things you wish you could do
I filled up my heart with all of this hate
When all of it's done who will remember your name?
This decision stands, I've paved my own way
Ready to die- Let's fucking end it this way
Place to coins in my eyes, let the boatman lead me home
Take me home
Put on your Sunday's best
Shed some empty tears for me
Place two coins in my eyes, let the boatman lead me home.
