Epilogue - The Antlers

Lyrics by：Peter Silberman

Composed by：Peter Silberman

In a nightmare I am falling from the ceiling into bed beside you

You're asleep I'm screaming shoving you to try to wake you up

And like before you've got no interest in the life you live when you're awake

Your dreams still follow storylines like fictions you would make

So I lie down against your back until we're both back in the hospital

But now it's not a cancer ward we're sleeping in the morgue

Men and women in blue and white they are singing all around you

With heavy shovels holding earth you're being buried to you neck

In that hospital bed being buried quite alive now

I'm trying to dig you out but all you want is

To be buried there together

You're screaming and cursing

And angry and hurting me

And then smiling and crying

Apologizing

I've woken up I'm in our bed but there's no breathing body there beside me

Someone must have taken you while I was stuck asleep

But I know better as my eyes adjust you've been gone for quite awhile now

And I don't work there in the hospital they had to let me go

When I try to move my arms sometimes they weigh too much to lift

I think you buried me awake my one and only parting gift

But you return to me at night just when I think

I may have fallen asleep

Your face is up against mine and I'm too terrified to speak

You're screaming and cursing

And angry and hurting me

And then smiling and crying

Apologizing

You're screaming and cursing

And angry and hurting me

And then smiling and crying

Apologizing

You're screaming and cursing

And angry and hurting me

And then smiling and crying

Apologizing
