Welcome to the modern world Welcome to the modern world Where death isn't the end Where death isn't the end (oh no) It is for you, just not for them Death is the start The start of tying up loose ends You died almost a year ago We burned you up Burned you up Burned you up While you floated up Floated up Floated up We were left holding the bag Holding the bag Holding the bag It was a bag of your dust and bones We were priests in denim Priests in denim Seasoning the sea with your bones With your bones We didn't catch no sharks We didn't make sense of it all We packed up all your shit Boxed it, sold it, trashed it We cleaned that place That home Those memories Days to weeks Weeks to months Months now almost a year We burned you up It took all our time All our time Time, time, time, When you died it was just the start The start of saying goodbye The start of trying to find peace The start without a starting line It was just the start when We burned you up Now the house is sold The house is sold House is sold The man took of his flip flop Big hairy toe pointing Pointing to the stain on the rug Stain on the rug Stain on the rug He bought that house Bought that house And we burned you up We cleaned that stain But you're still gone Still gone And we're still here Still here Life is a song that doesn't have an ending Someone else will get the keys Someone else will walk through that door We walk out and they walk in And it all begins again We burned you up When you left we burned you up We held that bag for a while Nothing is the same forever We're running the marathon of change Second wind filling our lungs It's been almost a year Since we burned you up Since we seasoned the sea Seasoned the sea with your bones We spread you out You die We live You fade We don't We shrank down small Then we grew again Breath in, breath out There is no ending Just cycles (just cycles) All people must go dancing We burned you up We burned you up We spread you out We spread you out Seasoned the sea Death was only Only the beginning We burned you up Welcome to the modern world Welcome to the modern world
