0:21Death lingered in your doorway
0:27Awaiting invitation
0:32Like a vampire or a neighbor
0:37They sensed your hesitation
0:42And your eventual acquiescence
0:47Rained sheets of pain and anger
0:51But I thought to myself
0:55How heavenly a state
1:01The acceptance of collapsing
1:05Under unspeakable weight
1:19The righteous indignation
1:23Began flowing as expected
1:29You were a question without an answer
1:34An introspection best deflected
1:39There was no closure in your exit
1:44It was a perfume for the scentless
1:48But I thought to myself
1:52How heavenly a state
2:09When there's no making sense
2:24Of the past or present tense
2:40I will breathe for you
2:45I will breathe for you
2:57Death lingered in your doorway
3:02And then reached across the threshold
3:07You grasped the hand extended
3:12And were pulled into the unknown
3:18How heavenly a state
3:23How heavenly a state
Death lingered in your doorway Awaiting invitation Like a vampire or a neighbor They sensed your hesitation And your eventual acquiescence Rained sheets of pain and anger But I thought to myself How heavenly a state The acceptance of collapsing Under unspeakable weight The righteous indignation Began flowing as expected You were a question without an answer An introspection best deflected There was no closure in your exit It was a perfume for the scentless But I thought to myself How heavenly a state When there's no making sense Of the past or present tense I will breathe for you I will breathe for you Death lingered in your doorway And then reached across the threshold You grasped the hand extended And were pulled into the unknown How heavenly a state How heavenly a state
