How much of you
Is left inside my mother’s house?
Pieces of dead skin
Hidden under beds and couches.
How much of you goes on living
After you have died?
Air that once moved through your lungs
Now moves through mine.
How much of you
Is left inside your mother’s house?
Have they cleaned out your bedroom yet,
Picked up the final details?
How much of you goes on living
After you have died?
Does your family still breath the air
That you once held?
Does anyone know your last words?
Did you say anything to yourself?
Did the needle feel good for the last time?
Could you think of anything to say?
Is left inside my mother’s house?
Pieces of dead skin
Hidden under beds and couches.
How much of you goes on living
After you have died?
Air that once moved through your lungs
Now moves through mine.
Is left inside your mother’s house?
Have they cleaned out your bedroom yet,
Picked up the final details?
How much of you goes on living
After you have died?
Does your family still breath the air
That you once held?
Did you say anything to yourself?
Did the needle feel good for the last time?
Could you think of anything to say?
