where dreams are filled with life,
but in truth they are of death, there own in fact.
And where gifts consist of mourning flowers,
to only be cut down and withered within the first few hours.
and six feet, is the depth were every resident calls home,
and a welcome mat for each one, each written in stone.

Though day in and day out, no matter how many times you try,
you will one day wake up clawing at the ceiling of your grave,
everyone is destined to die one day.
If there's a puzzle to the world,

because eventually your life will unexist
you will depart and seis
