Our Coastal Hymn

Rally up my friends and stand by my bedside, if i die tonight put my head inside a mason jar.
put it in the ocean and set it out to sea. im wading because...

and when i hit some shore,
and when my seal is broke,
ill split my eyes and lips asking,
"is this a judgement or a joke?"
this is a chance to dissect it.
this is a chance to make it up.
these are the words we've selected.
dont believe my lies of an after life spent drifting;
after 40 hours i sank straight to the bottom of the harbor near my home
and there i lay alone,
the spider crab is finally clad
beneath my cloak of brain and bone.
this is a chance to make it up
this is a chance to dissect it
this is a chance to break it up
these are the notes we've selected

in the basement of the dress shop
they play poker on the weekends.
old men trading laces, its an absolute disgrace.
they never gave a tip to the boy who ran the route.
they never gave a shit what the paper was about,
but when they heard he died,
they read the news that day,
just so they could see what his obituary would say.
it said
"RALLY UP MY FRIENDS AND STAND BY MY BEDSIDE!!!
RALLY UP MY FRIENDS AND STAY WITH ME TONIGHT!!!"
