burning the institutions

this is the greatest, this is the latest, this the farewell party

old friends and bill collectors neatly dressed in freshly ironed sunday's best

amidst all the abundant joy in death and against all expectations

in order to revere they abandon all their happiness and recreation

the pulpit was filled with the poisons of the widow

i got bored so i turned to look out the window

the birds amongst the trees and the summer's lively breeze

i don't think i've ever felt closer to God

if this is what it's like to remember the joy in someone's life

it's the only thing that's keeping me alive, the smiles of those i love remaining bright

i'll disappear and run away
but i'll leave you with with an open ending

so you'll search for me instead of just remembering
cause at best, i just can't let you forget me
