Lyrics

Death of a Friend Thought you found the holy one They take a little, she takes none It's just a front after all Oh how easy do they fall One by one over again They shed a little Of their skin First you mingle Then you dance Pull it to a safe distance It pours outside and need a ride Wish you hadn't gone inside Fumble for the sidehand door You don't want to stay no more The handle's broke The light is low Brake to late and off it goes Falling forward from the edge Try to remember what Mom had said Don't want to know You try to hard they say But you never want to go Whoa oh ah oh oh Whoa oh ah oh oh oh oh a Are your feet cold Spread your ashes all All across the snow Whoa oh ah oh oh Whoa oh ah oh oh oh oh a All the lights are shining through Hit you when you try to move Know the ending, Know start Know the place where it falls apart The Red herring Isn't fooling you Tricked you last time before you knew Barrelling towards the bitter end The climax comes and you lose a friend Growing up and dressing down Learn the the truth but shut your mouth It's not all what you thought it be Cuts your heart so gradually Sew it up Snip the thread Dry the tears They made you shed Hold the chair to slip the noose Never forget who cut you loose Confidence dies A little everyday You lose your way I lose it too You wish were back Safe inside instead But I'm at a funeral for a friend
