My Coffin

Dear blue sky

Are you afraid to die

Do you fear you’ll never see the morning?

And the twilight comes

And you lose your sun

Does it come to you without a warning?

When the ???????

How will I know

When the carbon bonds that hold me

Start to let go

Is there someone buried

Beneath this skin?

And is he free when I am lost

In my coffin

Dear moonlight

When you shine at night

Do you fear you’ll use up your resources?

With the sun as king

Do you feel for it’s string

When the higher powers run their courses

When the rain falls down

What brings it back?

Opens the resurrected cloud

From white to black

It’s a second birth

Under this skin

My coffin

My coffin

Yeah

Resurrection comes

But death comes first

All of our entitlements and rights

Will drive the hearse

I’m bleeding death

Death is unmade

The minute I lose myself I’m saved

From my coffin
