Closed Casket Heart

     Dm                            
I am nothing to you, but flesh 
               F
bound in pity and waste
      Dm                           
A dislocated voice from your memory
                     F
 that screams in the night
                         C
A body that longs to be found
                          F
A sunken recess on your grounds
           C
Where the waste from your lush oaken
 table
                Bb
absorbs in the weeds
          C                  Dm
and then feeds my dejected disease

I am nothing to you, but residual 
              F
heart-laden slime
Dm                           
Buried so deep beneath turning 
                     F
calendar pages and time
        C
A disgrace
                                 F
My pictures all turned on their face
        C
As you race
                             Bb
to scrape off the flowers i placed 
on the lid
          C
with my hands to your closed
        Dm
casket heart


I will strike you at night when your
                            F
 heart is not guarding the door
        Dm                         
I will creep in your sleep and your
                             F
 tears will languish on the floor
         C                   
You'll awake confused by this 
            F
dramatic state
            C
And you'll hate the
                         Bb        
silence inside you, and call for me
                C
 but I've been crushed
                        Dm
by your closed casket heart
