Momento Mori

By Candi Carpenter

Candi Carpenter
I spent two years in a mental hospital
And seventy two hours on a suicide hold
It was the first time
In a long time
I'd been held at all
And i'll be paying off that bill, until
I'm forty five years old
Now i'm unpacking cardboard boxes
In the cold spider filled attic in my brain
I think i'm an emotional hoarder
I really need to throw some shit away
So i'm throwing a funeral
For everything beautiful
I'm burying the past
Like a dog in the yard
We spend our whole lives
Saying our goodbyes
Saying one more
Shouldn't be that hard
I'm throwing a funeral
I'm throwing a funeral
Someday the aliens will find me
Fossilisеd just like a dinosaur
I doubt they'll call my skelеton a failure
Because none of this woll matter anymore


So i'm throwing a funeral
For everything beautiful
I'm burying the past
Like a dog in the yard
We spend our whole lives
Saying our goodbyes
Saying one more
Shouldn't be that hard
I'm throwing a funeral
I'm throwing a funeral
I'm just another corpse in training
One foot in the future
One in the past
I'm just another corpse in training
RIP in advance
We're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
So i'm throwing a funeral
I'm making it beautiful
I'm not a girl, i'm a graveyard
And this song is a eulogy
To the people i used to be
'cause i didn't know where to send the card



So i'm throwing a funeral
For everything beautiful
I'm burying the past
Like a dog in the yard
We spend our whole lives
Saying our goodbyes
Saying one more
Shouldn't be that hard
I'm throwing a funeral
I'm throwing a funeral
We're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
(momento mori) we're all gonna die
I don't wanna be another sad story
