Cremation Blues

The jaws of life have pried me loose and my caboose is rolling down the hill

It's gathering momentum and it does it for the thrill

The sudden death elimination veneration bias has its flaws

And it's hard to turn a blind eye to the damage that I've caused tonight

And it's hard to turn away when I don't know what to say and the color turns to gray and it fades from my vision

Every step I've taken on all the roads forsaken, it's my mind that's been a-achin' and causing my attrition

Unbeknownst and unbespoke of royal colors in repose

Back to the wall my father calls and worst of all it's me that takes the blame

And it's hard to shake the feelings of embarrassment and shame

Bring me to life against the knife and through my strife it's me that takes control
