Life Insurance

Take care of the widows

After we are gone

Take out a good policy

Help the children move on

Go on a date with a stranger

Be sure you love your job

Don't disappear in your anger

Your grief is never a fraud

Life insurance is the leash without the burden

Of the memory of kindness you received

Life insurance is the beast behind the curtain

With a gaze that speaks to me so naturally

It comes to cash in a favor

It comes to shatter your teeth

You've seen the scene in a trailer

You feel the shame in your dreams

The cinematic behaviour

The metaphorical noose

Give all the rope to the strangers

And take the kids to the zoo

Life insurance is the leash without the burden

Of the memory of kindness you received

Life insurance is the beast behind the curtain

With a gaze that speaks to me so naturally

Somehow, if right now you believe me

Then grieve me loud

Life insurance is the leash without the burden

Of the memory of kindness you received

Life insurance is the beast behind the curtain

With a gaze that speaks to me so naturally
