Body on the floor, face is blue
He can't feel the warmth of the room
And I can't feel a heartbeat
Five minutes later he's up on his feet
Gets in the car to drive away
"Son I love you but you can't stay
I don't want you to pass away"
Boy she told me, a lot has happened today
Death rattle
Everything feels so fragile
Why'd this have to happen to you
Why'd this have to happen so soon
What if he was dying down the stairs
What if we were never even there
And the
Empty bed beside me
Has stories to tell
Blood stained pillow cases
And veins all shot to hell
Death rattle
Death rattle
Death rattle
Death rattle
Body on the floor, face is blue
He can't feel the warmth of the room
And I can't feel a heartbeat
Five minutes later he's up on his feet
Gets in the car to drive away
"Son I love you but you can't stay
I don't want you to pass away"
Boy she told me, a lot has happened today
What if he was dying down the stairs
What if we were never even there
Gets in the car to drive away
"Son I love you but you can't stay
I don't want you to pass away"
Boy she told me, a lot has happened today
