Death-spray chokes my lungs Locks up my tongue Can’t cage the secrets sung With chemicals I can barely pronounce I’m ready to announce The truth is ready to pounce And I gave up reading the news Many years ago I read toilet walls now They tell me everything I need to know I died with my family near And men with flashbulbs and notepads Found out I was here Observe me where I lay I turn my head away To hear my little boy say ‘I painted Daddy a picture Mum But why is he so sleepy?’ And I prayed for him and I prayed for everyone So this is what you get For opening your mouth Little wonder so many choose to obey You have said very little For someone with so much to say So this is what you get For opening your mouth Little wonder so many choose to obey You have said very little For someone with so much to say In your conscience I will stay In sleepless nights You will pay And next time my name is said A Raven will tread Upon your head And peck out your eyes Drag you up into the skies To me where I’ll sit there and grin And ask why did you bring him here? With his record he’ll never get in.
