lyrics

Tendon muscle bone
When I’m alone
Sometimes I'll add up all the
Parts that made you whole
The flesh and cartilage
And all I know is
If we go to worms
Or go to flames
It’s all the same
It’s just an end and a beginning
No one’s lost and no one’s winning

So light the funeral pyre
Heart literally on fire

Close your eyes, love
Say goodbye, love
Let it burn

Now you sit upon a shelf
Inside a box, inside a house
That you once built
With wood and plaster
Framing nails and window glass and I’m sure
Mom will dust you off from time to time
And try her best
Not to think to hard about the ending

And the heat of the funeral pyre
Your heart literally on fire

Close your eyes, love
Say goodbye, love

A temple turned to ashes
Mortal returned to earth

Someday we’ll sell the house
We’ll move mom out
And someone new will
Chop the wood and clean the gutters
Run the dehumidifier
And a body’s like a home
It’s just a vessel overgrown
With all the love that you put in it
Without borders love’s infinite

So light the funeral pyre
Heart literally on fire

Close your eyes, love
Say goodbye, love
And let it burn

Smoke rise like memories
Linger with me
But let it burn
