Hearse

There is nothing you can tell me
That I don't already know
Your face speaks your feeling so clearly
You've gone glowing and rosied

There's a gleam in your eyes now
A shift in your light now
And you're keeping it all a secret

What was this fever dream of a life we had?
Was it in my head, puddled in my hands?
I don't know anymore

Put me out of my misery already
I don't want to have to see
The way you drift toward each other
In the shifting light of the street

Take me out in the yard, load a shell
I'm a dog with my head held down
Load mе into my velvet-lined hеarse
And carry me out

At night I can be found
Coddling the second place trophy you gave me
I gleam silver in the moon

Put me out of my misery already
I don't want to have to see
The way you drift toward each other
In the shifting light of the street

Take me out in the yard, load a shell
I'm a dog with my head held down
Load me into my velvet-lined hearse
And carry me out
Drop me in the grave I dug for myself
