lyrics

Sifting through the sediment of you
Filing it away
Signed the forms, paid the man his due
There's nothing left to do or say

Pictures faded to a patina of youth
A sepia array
Every memory and freshly pulled tooth
These things are keeping them at bay

But now

The shopping's put away upon the shelves
I'd best get on, these tears won't cry themselves

Thanks for dropping by, the thought it means a lot. Now you get to go.
Leave the hymns, the presents that I got
I'm starting to remember you

So now I'm through with hiding all my tells
I'd best get on, these tears won't cry themselves
I'd best get on, these tears wont cry themselves

Cry it out or store it up
Screwing down the bottle top
Every job is grief deferred
Put it off ‘til you're interred

Eye for detail, little things,
Keening note the choir sings
Poignant soft sans-serif font
Sausage rolls your sister wants

Focus on the details
Sweating out the detail
Focus so these tears don't cry themselves
