How To Survive a Funeral

Through a combination of alcohol
And the chemicals you'd consumed
Laid a broken path before a stoic man
The stars became your roof
So be proud, be proud
This is your big debut, kid
So be proud, be proud
You've got a crowd to see you through this

Set the stage
Displayed, you laid there, cold
Then came the eulogies
I thought you'd like to know

So just know, you barely knew us
You were out of touch, out of touch for so long
You filled the room up and none of us knew we cared till you're gone

Be proud, be proud
This is your big debut, kid
So be proud, be proud
(We got a crowd to see you through this)

They found you face down on the floor
You were somebody else the night before
Another slip up, another fall
You'd be searching your soul for something more

Fuck
Another slip up, another fall
You'd be searching your soul for something more

You barely knew us
You were out of touch, out of touch for so long
You filled the room up
And none of us knew we cared till you're gone

The funeral was in full bloom
You always knew how to fill a room
The funeral was in full bloom
To send you home

And while the crowd remained composed
They put a trophy on your stone
I guess you found a place to rest those bones
And while the crowd remained composed
They put a crown upon ayour throne
I guess you found a place to rest those bones

You barely knew us
You were out of touch, out of touch for so long
You filled the room up
And none of us knew we cared till you're gone

And everyone came in colours
And everyone came in colours
