The Funeral

from The Devil is defeated by Adam Kurtz

/

lyrics

Thick with life the forest looms in front of me
I lost your trail when I lost my friends
And all I’ve got to comfort me
Is what I can’t find in the trees
I search for clues as to where you plunged ahead of me
I find a broken branch it’s all I need I jump I run
Without a care in this world
I’m too caught up in the chase to even care how I look
And I followed you on the roughest thickest most destructive route
Like I had no where to run to
And I followed you until every bone inside me broke in two
And I had no way to go on
The funeral was well attended and subdued
Everyone was there and they were crying and you were crying too
I didn’t know I could look away (tho I wanted to)
I saw the whole parade I heard the cannons fire
I watched the last one who remained beside my grave
I saw you lay your flowers down and walk away
I saw you kiss the setting sun’s final decay and walk away
I watched you walk away
And I followed you on the roughest thickest most destructive violent icy route
Like I had no where to run to
And I followed you until every bone inside me broke in two
And I had no way to go on
