lyrics

(Intro/Eulogy)
You leave this world from which you live,
In solitude, until that's it.
Your minions come from when you start,
'Til last thoughts linger from worlds apart.
Wars fabricate where nobodies play,
Tomorrow's forecast is simple and plain.
Pleasant Imagining along the way,
'Til in your pinebox you will lay.

(Song)
I'm just layin' in my pinebox, the walls are closin' in man
I'm just layin' in my pinebox, the walls are closin' in man

I'm locked inside, but I'm still alive
In my pinebox.

They dug my hole 72 deep
Yeah they dug my hole, down deep beneath

Everything I know, moves so slow
In my pinebox.

They put me down down down down down...

Just the other day I was smilin' & laughin'
Now here I lay, Not knowin' what happened

I layed down to rest and woke funeral dressed
In my pinebox.

I hear everything goin' on up there
With a rusty nail, mark every day, month, year

Time's runnin' thin as I twist and spin
In my pinebox.

They put me down down down down down...

They came and planted flowers at the cemetary
They kept me company, yeah the roots go deep

Then the roots grew vines, that kept me intertwined
In my pinebox.

I awoke to a rumble shakin' the whole land
Mother earth took every single blow for the war of man

Though now the ground is soft, I think I'm better off
In my pinebox.

Though now the ground is soft...
I think I'm better off...
In my pinebox.
