Family Funeral Lyrics by Chat Pile

I never wanted to be in love
Awful thing, dreadful thing
It felt like it came from nowhere, okay?
And it frightened me how all-consuming it was
And I gave you everything, I gave you everything
I gave you everything to help you achieve your dreams
I gave you everything that I had
But you know that
You know that, right?
You know

And you promised to take me with you
And we made it so I could never go back
And you promised a new life here
And you and I made a new life here

So where am I supposed to go now?
Where am I supposed to go?
Where am I supposed to go now?
Where the fuck am I supposed to go?
Yeah

And so I sent our sons to your new bride with poisoned gown and coronet
She wore them to her father’s room, and everything they touched preceded death
And though you’ve come to save your sons, the blood on this knife should reveal my pain
Chariot of the sun now will take me and our dead children far away

And you will never hold them
You will never hold them again
You will never hold them
You will never hold them

And though it hurts me
I needed to hurt you
And though it hurts me
I needed to hurt you

And though it hurts me
I needed to hurt you
And though it hurts me
I needed to hurt you
And though it hurts me
I needed to hurt you
And though it hurts me
I needed to hurt you
I needed to hurt you
I needed to hurt you
I needed to hurt you
I needed to hurt you
