"Forest Lawn" lyrics

"Forest Lawn"

Covering the ground with eyes that scan to find a halo
Reflecting in the shine linoleum
Severing the ties so I can sit beneath a willow
And think about the cruel things that I've done
Just for fun

There are worse things for sure, man
But it's still murder

Smiling on the outside
And you're dying on the inside
What the hell kind of a condition is this
You're aware, you're aware
And you know that you can bear it
And it doesn't kill you but it sure don't make you strong
Forest lawn

For a minute there or 15 I was hometown hero
Now I'm just a shadow in the hall
Taking what I can before they put back up the gallows
And give it to me like they want it done
Just for fun

There are worse things for sure, man
But it's still murder

Smiling on the outside
And you're dying on the inside
What the hell kind of a condition is this
You're aware, you're aware
And you know that you can bear it
And it doesn't kill you but it sure don't make you strong
Forest lawn
Forest lawn

Smiling on the outside
And you're dying on the inside
Smiling on the outside
And you're dying on the inside
