Death Of a Friend

Thought you found the holy one

They take a little, she takes none

It's just a front after all

Oh how easy do they fall?

One by one over again

They shed a little of their skin

First you mingle, then you dance

Pull it to a safe distance

It pours outside and need a ride

Wish you hadn't gone inside

Fumble for the sidehand door

You don't want to stay no more

The handle is broke, the light is low

Brake too late and off it goes

Falling forward from the edge

Try to remember the words you read

Don't want to know

You try too hard they said

But you never want to go

Are you feet cold?

Spread your ashes all

All across the snow

All the lights are shining through

Hit you when you try to move

Know the ending, know the start

Know the place where it falls apart

The Red herring isn't fooling you

Tricket you last time, before you knew

Barrelling towards the bitter end

The climax comes, you lose a friend

Growing up and dressing down

Learn the truth and shut your mouth

It's not all what your thought it'd be

Cuts your heart so gradually

Sew it up, snip the thread

Dry the tears they make you shed

Hold the chair, slip the noose

Never forget who cut you loose

Don't want to know

You try too hard they said

But you never want to go

Are you feet cold?

Spread your ashes all

All across the snow

Confidence dies

A little everyday

You lose your way

I lose it too

I wish I was back

Safe inside instead

But I'm at a funeral for a friend

Don't want to know

You try too hard they said

But you never want to go

Are you feet cold?

Spread your ashes all-

All across the snow
