Funeral For A Friend

Lyrics

Ghosts

Congratulations, it's a boy
Buried underneath the afterbirth of joy
Sticks and stones will always break
His bones can barely take the weight
Of your breath breathing down his neck again

Keep it to yourself
You don't need to ask
Everything was golden
Memories will last

Your family, your little girl
One little wonder with your back against the wall
Kisses at bedtime never meant
A life that came to represent
Failings that she could not forget again

Keep it to yourself
You don't need to ask
Everything was golden
Memories will last

She could not forget
Breathing down his neck
But she could not forget

The price you pay is never worth
The pain to suffer the abuse
Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts
Again, again, again, again

Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts
Again, again, again, again
Lay down and sleep with all the ghosts
Again, again, again, again
