Pennies On Your Eyes

Should I dig me a hole in the ground
where I can lie
and shed my tears
undisturbed

Would that make it better?

Should I put pennies on your eyes
so you can die
without fear
with a clear conscious

Would that make it better?

I know I've stained your silk beliefs
or did I lift the blind from your eyes?
Regardless of which
I know this wasn't your scenery
I'm sorry you've had it ruined because of me

    Thanksies. It's trying to say that what could possibly be better if I buried myself in some hole somewhere, doomed to be alone and sad? It's a piece that really tries to cheer myself up, and make me realize that I can live on. It is possible =)
