Knocked me unconscious
Sealed my mouth with tape
Tied red bricks to my ankles
I drowned in Phoenix Lake
And maybe you'll think twice
The next time you decide
Some chilly Autumn night
To climb the fence and sit shore-side
'Cause they found my body
Two weeks later, or was it three?
See, I never really left the water
Or the cold light through the trees
And I know you'll try not to think of me
When you just so happen to find
Watercolor paintings of dying oak trees
And fence posts all out of line
And I never told you that dream that I had
Where we painted seven more,
And we hung them from the trees to dry
You said you'd never been this happy before
But minute by minute the colors ran out
And I knew at that moment you'd lied
One by one they all fell to the ground
We stood there confused in the night
Though I never told you the dream that I had
You'll remember it anyway
When the little green bugs run all over my hands
As the pallbearers take me away
