Welcome to my funeral.
I dug my grave,
Buried myself in you.
I saw the caution signs
Yet kept moving towards you.
Ignoring the warnings
Blinded by lust.

I tried to drag you down
Down into my casket.
I tried to make you drown
‘Cause I knew we’d never outlast it,
We’d never escape our fate.
I saw the end from the start
Never thought I could break my heart.

All this was just a plan
Simply a hoax
To make you choke.
Yet somewhere in this scheme
I fell for you and left everything.
It was only meant to be a pretense
But the feelings I had for you grew so intense.

I began to love you, despite these lies.
There was so much trust inside of your eyes.
I couldn’t stand to hurt you anymore
Someone so amazing mustn’t be with such a *****.
I went to rest inside of my coffin
‘Cause I saw my heart starting to soften.


My ribs are crumbling
Crushing my lungs,
My lungs filling with dirt
As I shovel to fill the hole.
My chest is caving in
Who knew it would be so hard to breathe
So hard to breathe without you.
