lyrics

Grim Hymns for Her

What if I drowned?
What if filled up my pockets with rocks and sank silently down?
Would you sail the seas searching for me ‘til my body was found?
Or never even notice that I’m no longer around

What if I burned?
What if I topped my canteen with kerosene, ‘cause I’ve never learned?
That spirits a bit to pure to cure true love that was spurned
Or would my ash seem a bit rash and not cause you concern

Don’t mean to sound grim while I sing you my hymn,
Know it’s hummed from the one loves you most
Purpose bedim, I admit that it may seem morose
All I want is to haunt as your ghost

What if I leapt?
What if the pavement and I peacefully both agree to accept
They’ll be no reprieve, none to grieve, and no tears will be wept
So I organized my demise, while you comfortably slept

Don’t mean to sound grim while I sing you my hymn,
just a labor of love and free verse
Purpose bedim, but admit, It could always be worse
Then to have me oversee your curse

Don’t mean to sound grim while I sing you my hymn,
Know it’s hummed from the one loves you most
Purpose bedim, I admit that it may seem morose
All I want is to haunt as your ghost

What if I drowned?
