[Verse 1]
You used to walk beside me
Shared bad jokes
Stale fries
Cold rain
Now you watch me like a target
Tracing outlines in your brain
[Chorus]
Hear the trumpets for my funeral
Blowing loud inside my head
Raise a glass for your confession
My best friend wants me dead
All this history on your shoulder
All this rust between our threads
What a way for us to finish
My best friend wants me dead (oh)
[Verse 2]
You say you're only kidding
But your stare disagrees
Every laugh cuts like a warning
Every hug feels like a squeeze
[Chorus]
Hear the trumpets for my funeral
Blowing loud inside my head
Raise a glass for your confession
My best friend wants me dead
All this history on your shoulder
All this rust between our threads
What a way for us to finish
My best friend wants me dead
[Bridge]
Did I miss the knife you swallowed
Did I plant it in your spine
Tell me where I crossed the border
Between your heartbeat and your hate for mine
[Chorus]
Hear the trumpets for my funeral
Blowing loud inside my head
Raise a glass for every promise
You rewrote in burning red
All this history turning hollow
All these echoes left unsaid
Play that last
Slow
Breaking fanfare
My best friend wants me dead
