Silverstein - In a Place of Solace lyrics
[Silverstein - In a Place of Solace lyrics]
A casket opened up a family gathers here
I may not have been
What you wanted me to have been
For your first born
Do they mourn my life, or celebrate my death?
Do they celebrate my death?
This casket, close it up
No one speaks, no one says a word
No one even stands
This is honesty through passivity
Looking away
This is ignorance through abstinence
You stay away it ends with ashes
To destroy the evidence and block the memory
Close it up
Black it out and remain in a place of solace
I may not have been
What you wanted me to have been
For your first born
Do they mourn my life, or celebrate my death?
Do they celebrate my death?
This casket, close it up
No one speaks, no one says a word
No one even stands
This is honesty through passivity
Looking away
This is ignorance through abstinence
You stay away it ends with ashes
To destroy the evidence and block the memory
Close it up
Black it out and remain in a place of solace
