Dead And Gone

It was getting cold and I felt like I was drifting away
So I pulled the wool over my eyes, it was heavy and warm
And when you acted like this was how it's supposed to be
I really let it cover me

But soon as you're dead and gone I'll see
What wasn't always clear to me
I will be free to bury you

I woke up early and I looked into the sunny expanse of sky
Then I took one look at you and I knew that it was time for something to die
I'm giving back the sugar that you offered up
It covers up the ache and the cavity, but it's not enough

Soon as you're dead and gone I'll see
What wasn't always clear to me
I will be free to bury you forever

Now that you're dead and gone, I'll take back
All that I always thought I knew
They'd be the best things I can give away
