10 years

For 10 years he's been lying here

Not a smile, he just won't eat

In our bed he is resting

On the floor we're forced to sleep

Because he's dead you see but keeps on growing

We cut his nails almost every week

And his beard when it gets to his knees

My patience reached its peak

The smell is awful, really

My neighbors keep on asking

We could have moved him away

But I am way too lazy

For 10 years not a guest at home but him

Ungrateful he won't eat a thing

If I had told the police back then

I would now for sure be free

I haven't closed his eyelids in 10 bloody years

Would he care, he can't even breathe

His eyes get bigger and they're bulging now

Like two light bulbs lit up the room we're in

Because he's dead you see, I killed him

The dead grow older faster than the living

His bones get bigger and touch the walls now

We'll soon have to get a new home
