Lyrics

I tell you this because
As an artist
I think you'll understand

I'll be quiet to keep you quiet
Don't concern yourself with my slow dying
Through the vents I hear you sigh
I don't get too high these days

Your floor is my ceiling
Lights out, you can't come in
If you don't remind me, I won't forget you
If you don't ask I won't upset you

I am jet black, I am stone cold
Jet black to the center
Funny like a funeral
I need you to bury me

White noise in black room dust
These hands long for one last touch
Hourglass all out of trust
I don't scratch so I won't itch
I don't reach so I won't miss
I taste our last kiss

If you don't remind me, I won't forget you
If you don't ask I won't upset you

I am jet black, I am stone cold
Jet black to the center
Funny like a funeral
I need you to bury me

This is the cure, the same as the symptom
Simple and pure, break to keep fixing
Patiently nurse, patient and nurse

This is the part I wouldn't show you
The part where you say I don't even know you
This is your cue, be glad that it's through

I am jet black, I am stone cold
Jet black to the center
Funny like a funeral
I need you to bury me

Sometimes when I'm driving
On the road at night
I see two headlights coming toward me
Fast
I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly
Head-on into the oncoming car
I can anticipate the explosion
The sound of shattering glass
The flames rising out of the flowing gasoline
