Prompt / Lyrics
[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

Subtle choir pads bloom on the hook to add tragic grandeur, with a short, tense bridge that pulls the dynamics down before one last towering refrain., sad
