about

This song is about my grandpa. Also smoking. I don't think my grandpa ever smoked though, but some of my friends do. I don't know. Don't do drugs.

lyrics

I learned more about you from your obituary
Then I ever did from you talking to me
Hell did you ever even talk to me?
You were laid out for us to see
In a wooden box so comfortably
lined with satin or velvet or something
it was the
fist time I ever saw you at ease

Smoke filled room full of smoke filled lung
Inhaling death exhaling some
Philosophy on how they'll stay young
and the cancers growing inside their lungs
won't kill them until they're ready to (die)
Throwing up in a stranger's bathroom
A stranger that I've known for years
The one that laughed at all of my jokes
But not all of those were meant to be jokes
Just the awkward passings the quick goodbyes
The silence, sins, the room around me

The lines and wrinkles on your face contorted into words
And told me all the stories that I had never heard
You were laying on the bed you asked how I've been I said I've been just fine
I kept my hands in my pockets
And I don't remember the last thing I said to you
I just remember my hands shaking when I stepped into your room
Now I'm afraid to see the bodies the tombstones in the grass
The perfect grids of storage for the people who had passed

The stories that you kept inside
are gonna rot and grow or be food for the flies
