father, mother, sister, brother, son
all of you are gone
I'm helpless, wanna die
Mr. Marshall died with class
drove to the morgue in a cadillac
sunday best, took a breath
everyone you know will die
yes everyone you know will die
Uncle Gabriel’s son is dead
six years old, found a gun, under a bed
If there’s a god, it should die
everyone you know will die
yes everyone you know will die

I am so insignificant
you see, that glass castle is my residence
and eventually it will all come crashing down from where it stands
and my home will be nothing but sand
everything you’ve got will be forgotten
even your bible, will become irrelevant
shakespeare or bacon, well who is that
my house was built, using Cleopatra's ash

Nobody treats him as a human
he’s a number, without a sense of humor
but to you he’s just a joke, he always was always little odd
so Daniel, got even in his job
Nobody feels her as a human
she’s an object, try before you buy
got used up like cliches, sold the only one she owned
oh Becca, never objected, so she was never taken home
Nobody sees me as a human
I’m a monkey, wind me up, watch me dance and sing
I’m just a story, you’ll one day tell your kids
but what happens to me when I run out of stories to give

No you can't take a picture of this
it’s already gone
you hold on to your pain
like its your prized possession
you hide inside a a box
and forget that your alive
so you never have to deal
with problems that arise
