about

About those people that disgrace themselves in some serious way but you still want to respect them for what you thought they were.

lyrics

the seasons will permeate
with your disgrace
winter's sarcastic scorn
mocks summer's warm embrace
the words that you placed deep in my heart
ache like a mistake
oh my Damocles, my hate

I cannot think of what
to sing at your wake
what would I say
what would I do
when they ask after you?
I am terrified of that

so I'll cover you with stones
cover you with moss
cover you with flowers
forget what I've lost
I had a dream your bandage untied
and that you were alive
and I was terrified of you

I cannot think of what
to sing at your wake
what would I say
what would I do
when they ask after you?
I am terrified of that

I won't sing
I can't sing
I'll never sing
Don't sing
