Grandpa
The Marshes

This is just nothing
A lame attempt to make amends
To resurrect a dead man after he’s gone
Sing a song if you feel like it
But don’t put on the air of someone grieved
You think of me as a tool
Isn’t that so low?
Doesn’t it bug you you’re cold?
Once it did, but it passed
Now I talk to an empty heart
Watch yourself, lest you tell the others

You never waited up with me
Or felt a loss as I slipped away
You sure are gruesome
Won’t you go away?
I love you not today
And yet you call me friend

Isn’t that too much?
Don’t you mean less than you said?
After all I did you, thank me not a little bit
I took in so much of you
Doesn’t that mean anything at all?
How about supporting your name?
I think of you well
You’re an example to me
Isn’t that just a fact?
Haven’t I ever honored you?
You know I have, but you don’t say so

You always made a fool of me
But still I visit at your grave
You sure are gruesome
Why don’t you go away?
I came but I won’t stay
I got a lot of friends

You’re pathetic
A no-name schlub, out of work
Can’t you even see your own thoughts to their end?
Leave me be to rest in peace
Next time I won’t stay here when you leave
With all that I am, you’ll die
You’ll hurt yourself but it will be my fault

You never should have fucked with me
But now I guess you’ll live with me
Yeah, I guess I’m gruesome
Push all your thoughts away
You never made a dent in me
You wanted a big family?
You’ve got one that’ll end your days
