a lifeless soul lying there
water filled eyes trying not to stare
the empty body fills the room with despair
because this is not the man we love and share
who's body is in front of my eyes?
should I go and say my final goodbyes?
I do not want to remember him like this
for he was more than just a farewell kiss
who's body lies so dead and weak
yet people compliment his physique
I cry I cry I cry I cry
I will not say my final goodbye
close that casket for I will not stare
I don't know who's body is lying there
I softly shoot my glance that way
but it is not right to not let his body decay
he is dead
dead as dead can be
I refuse to remember what I see
he was a man full of love and laughter
yet this dead body changes how I remember him after
close that casket for I will not stare
I don't know who's body is lying there
I do not wish to remember your body dead
I will remember the days before and not ahead
I know you were more than just a body in the ground
I love you always, please sleep safe and sound
use that satin pillow for your head
now close that casket, for he is dead.
