"Life Insurance" lyrics

Take care of the widows
After we are gone
Take out a good policy
Help the children move on
Go on a date with a stranger
Be sure you love your job
Don't disappear in your anger
Your grief is never a fraud

Life insurance is the leash without the burden
Of the memory of kindness you received
Life insurance is the beast behind the curtain
With a gaze that speaks to me so naturally

It comes to cash in a favor
It comes to shatter your teeth
You've seen the scene in a trailer
You feel the shame in your dreams
The cinematic behaviour
The metaphorical noose
Give all the rope to the strangers
And take the kids to the zoo

Life insurance is the leash without the burden
Of the memory of kindness you received
Life insurance is the beast behind the curtain
With a gaze that speaks to me so naturally

Somehow, if right now you believe me
Then grieve me loud

Life insurance is the leash without the burden
Of the memory of kindness you received
Life insurance is the beast behind the curtain
With a gaze that speaks to me so naturally
