lyrics

I was there, at the instant of your death. I cried as you broke the fourth wall. I did not see a single tear upon your cheek-you knew you were in for better things.

Don't cry now, we're almost home. The pain that you feel is only temporary.
Do not shed a tear. We're almost there. If only you would come back here and get me.

Stand above your grave. Do lilies grow in Hades? The answer is as absent as your presence. The trees whisper the truth-this was not your early ending. But it seems that you've made an early exit.

I won't cry now. I'm almost home. I'll trade my body in for something new.
I won't shed a tear. I'm almost there. Would there be cause to mourn if I should join you?

Stand upon the bridge. Does poison taste like heaven? The river brings the answer to my soul.

"Listen to us child. Death is not given lightly, but we understand if you'd like to join the crowd.

Come over if you wish. We'll only tell you this. Mortality is a double sided mirror.
We do not shed a tear, or feel the pang of fear. And if you broke the glass it would be much clearer. There is one last thing we'll say, then we must be on our way. We do not often deal with flesh and bone.

But the lost soul that you seek is not fully out of reach. It rests nearby in a statue made of stone."

You'll be alright, darling. You'll be alright. Someday you will tell me all about life.
