Funeral Suit

I've seen the great toil of man

Watched me being raised

They've parted the seas

But not yet made a key

For the woman in chains

Oh, everyone's talking

Everyone's shouting

I'll just be quiet, shall I?

I read your script and my role just concerned me

Walking from room to room crying

Nothing excites me

I've bottled my lightning

The world doesn't frighten me

Half as much as it can

Now nothing excites me

I'm tired of the routine

Of crying for you

And the things I can't hold in my hand

Any mistakes that I've made

I'll claim them as mine

Paragon, virtue

The mother that hurt you

It's all captured here in my smile

Lay your head on my breast

Tell me your dreams and I'll put mine to bed

Sing me a lullaby, won't you, darling?

For the life I almost had

Nothing excites me

I've bottled my lightning

The world isn't frightening me

Half as much as I wish it would

Now nothing excites me

I'm tired of the routine

Of crying for you

And the way that I look in my funeral suit
