Headstones and land mines
+
Flowers and red wines
+
They buy you nice things
+
And they sing pretty songs
+
But it doesn't help
+
Oak trees and dirt piles
+
Funerals and mistrials
+
They say pretty words
+
And they hug from 6 feet
+
But it doesn't help
+
And nothing works
+
But time
+
And it all hurts
+
But it's fine
+
Chaos and carpet
+
A study in scarlet
+
The room doesn't talk
+
And the furniture nods
+
As I pass
+
Heights marked in pencil
+
Kitchen utensils
+
The books don't say sorry
+
They don't crowd and touch
+
They're just observers
+
Collecting their dust
+
They know that nothing they say is enough
+
So they don't say a thing
+
