The Higher – Beautiful Coffins lyrics

On the walls of my apartment
Hang the pictures of all our problems
And the nails I see hammered through me
Are my therapy

And how did everything go so wrong?
And I'm stuck here left just holding on
To the misery you left for me
But now I see

You should go if you wanna leave
I know when you're six feet deep
You'll be saying you're sorry
So I'll make it easy

I'll pick up the most beautiful coffin for you
To send you on your way
And I'll douse it with gasoline
To make sure when you leave this place
That you leave it up in flames

When the smoke fills your lungs
And your body starts to decay, oh
And you blend into the earth
I hope it hurts, I hope it hurts you
Like you hurt me first

You had everything you needed
But you walked around so jaded
With a heart as hard as pavement breathes
Through cracks unseen

But you should go if you wanna leave
I know when you're six feet deep
You'll be saying you're sorry
So I'll make it easy

I'll pick up the most beautiful coffin for you
To send you on your way
And I'll douse it with gasoline
To make sure when you leave this place
That you leave it up in flames

When the smoke fills your lungs
And your body starts to decay, oh
And you blend into the earth
I hope it hurts, I hope it hurts you
Like you hurt me first

Ooh, ooh

Maybe eventually when you're finally deceased
Death will feel natural
Then you'll see all your pipe lit dreams
Won't become reality 'cause they're out of your league

I'll pick out the most beautiful coffin for you
To send you on your way
And I'll douse it with gasoline
To make sure when you leave this place
That you leave it up in flames

And when the smoke fills your lungs
And your body starts to decay, oh
And you blend into the earth
I hope it hurts, I hope it hurts you
Like you hurt me first, oh, you hurt me first
You hurt me first, oh no
