Bring Out Your Dead

Take a piece. A bouquet of posies, dried up
It's bound to trip you up
The things you did for love, heaven sent

Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(You, sitting alone)
You promised nothing would change
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Sing your saddest song)
One try and down comes the rain
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Think of days you were young)
You promised nothing would change
Now that you're done...
(Think what you should've done)

Make your peace. A pocket of posies can help
In the silence that comes with the
Presence of large predators
I washed your scent from my sheets
And still it comes

Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(You, sitting alone)
You promised nothing would change
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Sing your saddest song)
One try and down comes the rain
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Think of days you were young)
You promised nothing would change
Now that you're done bring out your dead
(Think what you should've done)
One try and down comes the rain
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(You, sitting alone)
You promised nothing would change
Now that you're done, bring out your dead
(Sing your saddest song)
One try and down comes the rain
Now that you're gone...

Everybody's staying, waiting for their lives to change
But my life just changed in every way
Everyday I know
I just want a greener lawn someday, but maybe I'll rest here for awhile
