Dirt Lyrics by The Swellers

Ups and Downsizing

0

This is for all my friends and family
Something I need you to understand
The accident
The overdose
The suicide whatever it was
Malpractice
The homicide, etcetera
Something took me sooner than we planned
Now take these steps for me
It might not be what you wanted
But it's what I need
No funeral
There's not a goddamn dime you need to spend
I won't be there to thank you in the end
Put me in the ground to decompose
And inside of your heart always
This is for all my friends
Who are these motherfuckers?
Behind my eyes
They never knew me in life
No, no casket please
I'll rot out with the leaves
No clothes for me to wear
The dirt won't care
Don't scatter any ashes
Scatter all my things to
The deserving ones who really need
No production here
So assholes walk around
And try to get your sympathy and say, "I'm glad it wasn't me."
And with that said
Don't say a prayer for me today
God and I, we never really spoke anyway
I tried sometimes, but he never wrote back
And I know
There's no headstone where I'm lying
So where do you go when you're crying?
Just hold on to a memory of me
Inside of your heart always
Inside of your heart always
Inside of your heart always
Inside of your heart always
Inside of your heart always
