Mourning

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows
Friendship is a word I would never use lightly
You never understood what it means to me
But I was foolish and lonely
So I closed my eyes, chose not to see

Oh, the five stages of mourning, well, they do not quite apply
For the stage of denial, I've been living that the entire time

To you a friend is just some "buddy" with whom to hang out, get drunk and cheer
The river of your affection is only as wide as a can of beer

Oh, the five stages of mourning, well, they do not quite apply
I have traded my anger for sadness and I am sad now all the time

Against all better judgment I was hoping for greater things to come
But in the end it was all disappointing, what can you expect from a simple man?

Oh, the five stages of mourning, well, they do not quite apply
There is nothing here to bargain for the illusion of you, it had to die

To bury an empty coffin is the hardest way to say goodbye
It's quite a fitting picture though for your friendship it was hollow inside

Oh, the five stages of mourning, well, they do not quite apply
For the stage of denial, I've been living that the entire time
