[Verse 1]

Rags to rags, ashes into the dust

I fell through the crust past the mantle into the husk

Of a man who was just handlin' his business as usual

He shook off the rust and headed straight to his funeral

He looked off the cuff like he'd been spillin' for days

Livin' in waste, he limped in with it still on his face

It was unusual, his key fit into the padlock

He stepped feet first in a beautiful black box

He lit his last cigarette with his last match

He laughed at the warning in red on the cellophane

His silhouette stiff as a board 'til half past

He sat back thinkin' of the sadnеss he'd generatе

Yeah, he'd seen better days and he had seen worse

But he cursed the thought of flashin' back his life in reverse

So he lay back and passed the last half of his smoke to his ghost

He washed his hands of it and then he was toast, and he said

[Chorus]

All things considered

It's really not that bad

Lower me into the dirt

Take everything I had

I'll be delivered

With shiver in my bones

[Verse 2]

He alone in the dark

Alone with his heartbeat, sewn to his thoughts

And he goes where the sharks be, thrown to the jaws

And arose from the marsh, he's a rose in the marsh, look

Just a carnation in manure

Tarnations, hope these bars can pave a future

Parted ways with the days I was a user

So all cards on this table from now 'til the eulogy

Stoolie, he used to be an abuser of that tomfoolery

But that ludicrous doin' ruined me

So I keep my cool the same as your cooler freeze

Hold the head straight like the neck stiff when the fluid's squeezed

Got a wee bit of spinal dystrophy

Solely speak to mirrors, the only time someone's listening

I wipe away a tear, it's the only time that I'm glistening

'Cause I can never shine when this light seems to be missing me

But I just keep trekkin' 'til the road forks

Suitcase in my left, the other holdin' a lone cord

I got a date with the unusual

And I'd be rude if I showed up late to my own funeral

[Chorus]

(Whoa)

All things considered

It's really not that bad

Lower me into the dirt

Take everything I had

I'll be delivered

With shiver in my bones

With shiver in, with shiver in my bones, yeah

All things considered

It's really not that bad

Lower me into the dirt

Take everything I had

I'll be delivered

With shiver in my bones

With shiver in my bones

With shiver in my bones

[Outro]

Whoo (Yeah)
