My Favorite Song

Can't see with you all around

Can't follow now where you are bound

A rough sketch of the shape we're in

A still-life of what is still missing



I'm in your old t-shirt

Skin so tender it won't react

I'm on this stretcher

Motionless, flat on my back



Send my body home

Even if you're still my favorite song

I know that I've stayed here for too long

All the anger has given way to sadness



It's over the dog has died

And you know to me everything's a sign

I can't even write this tune

Without wondering how it sounds to you



And our tempo was always fast and violent

And I want to pull the plug

Now that we're slow and almost silent



Send my body home

Even though you're still my favorite song

I know that I've stayed here for too long

All the anger has given way to sadness



We slip and slide

A straightjacket ride

Are you satisfied

I lost circulation

Slapped myself until it stung

I lost circulation



Send my body home

Even though you're still my favorite song

I regret I've stayed here for too long

All the anger has given way to sadness



I lost circulation

Slapped myself until it stung

I lost circulation

A monumental drag

Sent home in this body bag

A monumental drag
