My Funeral (Angel of Sadness)

I am human Cumulative to a being Carrying the trial of a few men Baring the suffering of a new sin You say you’d cry for me But will the world be rejoiceful or sad when you begin For these reasons my funeral will not be a sad day Holidays come and pass For some they last For others it’s a finale in one gasp Loved ones will stand and fall As the above Son will demand you call And now we dream this impossible dream Witness your misery blossom in our scene There is no sanctuary in between Now you see why my funeral will not be a sad day Moments of triumph Being more than we have ever had, okay The dimming of lights Sadly the peace we have ever known, so pray Your heavens will not receive me Driven below, yet these temperatures only tease me Why do I not learn? If it says it’s hot, why do I touch it and expect it not to burn I don’t beg forgiveness I break legs for living in stress And for these reasons my funeral will not be a sad day
