Reina Del Cid - The Cooling lyrics

The first thing to go
It might surprise you to know
It's not the blood from the muscle
Or the strength from the bone

Between you and me it's the simplest thing
It's the warmth of the body
When the soul is at home

It's the heat
And you struggle to keep it inside
But it seems
It's stealing away in the night
When you first realized
That your body had died
You went to the tunnel to wait there alone

And you stood there for days
But the light never came
So you took your poor body
And you walked it back home

Now you're popping some pills
Oh to fight back the chill
And you're picking some flowers
To help with the stench

But no manner of blush will be quite enough
To cover the pallor
That spreads 'cross your skin

And they said
That hell would be fire and smoke
But in the end
It's this cooling that scares you the most

There's a pretty young thing
With a pretty gold ring
And she talks to you every night
'cause she don't know you're dead
And you can't figure how
When you're walking through town
No one's noticed the knife
Sticking out of your head

Now you're living in fear
That sometime this year
They will finally notice
That you're heart doesn't beat

And they'll dig you a grave
And they'll put you away
But you still won't be ready
You'll grow back like a weed

Like a weed
And you wonder what you're waiting for
'cause it seems
There's no honor in death anymore
