Smile for the camera
Make it seem like you’re alive
When in reality
You are without energy

Caught moments before disaster
Before the lightning strikes
We have a glimpse at what’s left
Before he died

No flash photography at the funeral
No cracking jokes or drinking wine
It’s your funeral, so make it worth my time

Smile for the casket
Make him seem like he’s alive
When in reality
He already died
