in the painful calm night

i went to your funeral
and didn't have fun
i exploded in neutral
like bang from a gun

i dug a deep hole
it was shaped like a grave
and i lay in the earth
felt the cold that i crave

and i sat on the gravestones
and i wept a grey tear
saw your ghost in the sunset
and was filled with your fear

so i'll climb down the staircase
to a basement of sky
where the angels are coughing
on the clouds rolling by

i was bloody and poisoned
when you took me away
when you sat back and watched
as i struggled to say

"with clouds comes the hunger
with the poison comes thirst
and it matters not who lives
the dead shall die first"
