Body Glow

We replace each other
again and again.
To right whatever wrongs
We penned in our heads
And we fold the covers
Then watch them tear
As we pretend we love
We pretend we care
You stood there in the lights
As if your body could glow
You looked me in the eye
You know, you know, you know
For a second it all breaks
The world continues to make sense
Until your hallow fades
Then load off into the end.

All your ex-lovers

All your ex-lovers
Will carry you to your grave
They shoulder your casket
To gave what you gave
And they fill it with roses
And thorns, and letters
Of the time you lost
The time spent together
And they walk down the stairs
Your frame on their shoulders
Never know what it's like
To watch you get older.
They are all in the prime
Of their very own youth
As they stare into your grave
They gave you the truth.
