Lyrics

[00:01.040] When my dad died
[00:07.690] the worms ate out both his eyes
[00:15.490] His soul flew right up in the sky
[00:20.790] and I cried myself to sleep
[00:32.100] My mother lies alone on her back at night
[00:45.890] Adding up hours till her demise,she counts herself to sleep
[01:09.890] When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds
[01:22.990] I tell her I promise its fine but she cries herself to sleep
[01:47.100] The man in black ties arrive at the house in surprise
[02:00.890] To find a little girl by your side,in the wood box where u’re sleeping
[02:32.890] I still see you inside of the God-awful house
[02:55.490] You move awfully quiet now
[03:08.190] And I still feel you everywhere
[03:24.690] You told me this is always worth living
[03:31.550] But whats really worth living anymore
