Silverstein
In a Place of Solace
[Intro]
A casket opened up
A family gathers here
[Part I]
I may not have been
What you wanted me to have been, for your first born
Do they mourn my life, or celebrate my death?
Do they celebrate my death?
This casket, close it up
This casket, close it up
[Part II]
No one speaks, no one says a word
No one even stands
This is honesty through passivity
Looking away
This is ignorance through abstinence
You stay away
[Outro]
It ends with ashes
To destroy the evidence and block the memory
Close it up, black it out and remain in a place of solace
