Styrofoam Plates Lyrics - The Photo Album - Death Cab For Cutie

There's a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes 

I threw them to sea, but a gust blew them backwards 

and the sting in my eyes that you then inflicted was 

par for the course just as when you were living 

It's no stretch to say you were not quite a father, 

but a donor of seeds to a poor single mother that would 

raise us alone. We never saw the money that went down 

your throat through the hole in your belly. 

13 years old in the suburbs of Denver, standing in line 

for Thanksgiving dinner at the Catholic church the servers 

wore crosses to shield from the sufferance plaguing the others 

Styrofoam plates cafeteria tables, charity reeks of cheap wine 

and pity, and I'm thinking of you I do every year when we count all our 

blessings and I wonder what we're doing here.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

You're a disgrace to the concept of family the priest won't 

divulge the fact in his homily and I'll stand up and scream if 

the mourning remain quiet, you can deck out lie in a suit but I won't buy it 

I won't join in the procession that's speaking their 

peace using five dollar words while praising his integrity, 

just cause he's gone doesn't change the fact: 

he was a bastard in life, thus a bastard in death.
