Manchester Orchestra - Sleeper 1972

When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.

My mother lies alone on her back at night.
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep.

When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds,
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep.

The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise.
To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping.

I still see you inside of this God-awful house
You move awfully quiet now
And I still feel you everywhere
You told me this has always been worth living,
But what's really worth living anymore?

I Watched andy preform this song live in front of only me and a couple of friends at lalapalooza, and he had a single tear running down his cheek. I asked him what helps him right his music, and he grabbed me by my shoulder and got really close and told me that it's " Living, Love and loss". and he gave me his guitar pick.. I consider me the luckiest man alive.. thank's andy, it means a lot.
