lyrics

as a father and a husband,
i'm so sorry i wasn't around.
i did what i had to,
so use my body to fertilize the ground.
throw my skin down,
the earth will be healthy.
use all my flesh,
the next harvest will be plenty.
spread my organs 'round the dirt,
but save my heart for elsewhere.
put it in a mason jar,
place it by your bed on a chair.
use the only photograph of me,
as kindling to start a fire.
to warm the children,
and cook your dinner.
use my hair,
to make a mop.
you can use it,
to clean up all my blood.
use my bones as hammers,
to build a new shingled roof.
in life i had no purpose,
but in death i have use...

take my clothing,
make it into a dress.
give it to our daughter,
you can keep the rest.
oh my beloved wife,
i also leave you my ring.
do with it what you like,
it's my most prized belonging.
find my hunting rifle,
and get my shotgun.
lay them on the floor,
and give it all to our son.
give him my cap to keep him rosy,
don't forget to give him my love.
i already showed him how to use them,
he should return home with a dove.

take the recording of my voice,
and distort it until it's no longer me.
take my guitar,
and give it away for free.
