The Swellers - Skoots lyrics

rate me

Death, another waste of plans<br />

I'm shaking, I can't stop my hands<br />

I'm writing words but I still lost my voice<br />

Shoved in the back room with old friends, we had no choice<br />

I never thought I'd see you here<br />

<br />

I don't have clothes like days like these<br />

I never thought they'd come to me<br />

But I'm still here<br />

It wasn't hell that turned you black<br />

The ashes did when you got back<br />

I'm sorry<br />

<br />

The same six at all the shows<br />

But now that it's a funeral<br />

The room has overflowed<br />

So good of you to finally show support when the admissions free<br />

And the congregation shows their gratitude<br />

<br />

I don't have clothes like days like these<br />

I never thought they'd come to me<br />

But I'm still here<br />

It wasn't hell that turned you black<br />

The ashes did when you got back<br />

I'm sorry<br />

<br />

Would you have said what Father said you'd say?<br />

Is it hard to set words straight once you're away<br />

They made you speak out of your lifeless mouth<br />

I read words you wrote when you were around<br />

You'd want to be a tree strong in the ground<br />

And you would have said, Keep looking where your eyes are looking now</
