blood flowing backwards you
die in reverse
the driver's side window's been
shot out of the hearse
and then that day comes and they
dig up your bones
and dress up your remains
in old lady clothes
and make up vague theories
when all that they know is you're dead
and when no one's looking they'll take liberties in your stead
so many secrets your condition is forced to endure
hideous witnesses champions of the impure
your eternal slumber was never meant to be breached
but those kind of fantasies just happen to
fall within reach
seven years later your body is found
never made it into the ground
and the dirt is denied another meal
and the earth herself is crushed beneath the wheel
but the worms will find their way into your eyes
hideous witnesses swarming like flies
