Death Of A Friend

Death Of A Friend Lyrics

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 she'd 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
Tricked you last time, before you knew
Barreling 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 she'd
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
