As you lay dying

Poppies are reddening

Bursting wide open, revealing their seeds

Tastes like the water that beads on white skin

As you lay dying

Morphine and ice cream

Staining your sheets, and confusing your mind

And it reminds me, they still get paid when you die

They took the heart right out of you

How did it feel to be twenty six degrees?

With your body split leaking all about your legs

Could you hear me call from your mountaintop

Crawling through the snow, crawling through the blood

To say, hey

Daddy

Daddy

How did it feel to be 26 degrees?

With your body split leaking all about your legs

Daddy

Don't go away

Daddy

Please stay

Could you hear me call from your mountaintop

Crawling through the snow, crawling through the blood

To say, hey

Daddy

Daddy
