Your Death

Your Death - Paris/Texas

Before I left we looked at hooks and lures in your old box

The silver gone the red of rust was better

And we talked about your brother

The crook who broke your windo

And who stole the show at your own father's funeral

I wasn't there but I cried for you

He stole from death and from life at the same time

And that's why I

Never want to live my life

Saying things like I wish I

I knew what always happened to you

And this is what your death would be like

I'll crash alone and clean alone

And this is what your death would be like

I'll drink alone and dream alone

Your number like an epitaph was scratched into my head

And it replaced what common sense I had left

And I found it out with a fake name and spanish accent

And a story practiced before calling your parents

And you know I think they knew

I planned my death and my life at the same time

And that's why I

Never want to live my life

Saying things like I wish I

I knew what always happened to you

And this is what your death would be like

I'll slip alone and sleep alone

And this is what your death would be like

I'll drive alone I'll be alone

Can front my fortune long enough

To put yourself inside a box

I wanted you to hear this song

A love one not a requiem

It says things I could never say

Or at least could not explain

It's for you as well for them

A love one not a requiem

I'll crash alone and clean alone

I'll drink alone and dream alone

Sleep alone

Sleep alone

Drive alone

To be alone

And that's why I

Never want to live my life

Saying things like I wish I

I knew what always happened to you

And this is what your death would be like

And this is what your death would be like

And this is what your death would be like

'Cause I know fortune long enough

To put yourself inside a box

I wanted you to hear this song

A love one not a requiem

It says things I could never say

Or at least could not explain

It's for you as well for them

A love one not a requiem
