lyrics

Is this really all there is?
Cough syrup to sleep till an alarm clock reminds us to breathe
Well what if we don't set the damn thing?

I suppose it is what it is
Nothing more, nothing less
The lucky one's born into it
While the rest of us work

Two sets of fiery eyes
Two sacks of dry skin
Too much to do
Too little time

Coffin companions
Early to bed, wary to rise
A girl with work to do
A boy with two thorns in his side
Of all the coffins in all the dreadful corners of the world
You chose mine and I yours

Singing and dancing and aching are so over-rated
Here lies the King and Queen of the self-medicated

Coffin companions
The whispers found a place to hide
Now we can age with grace in silence
I won't speak until spoken to
Won't ask for love like the others do
I'll just close my eyes and let the medicine kick in
