The Truth -12:37am, June 13, 2001

She had an ativan and a percoset
too bad that they hadn’t started working yet
still a nervous wreck, her husband learned to let
her pop pills when she was hurt or upset

drowning in pain on the church’s steps
but the more she prays, the worse it gets
withdrawing from the world and incurring debts
she tried her personal best to find a purpose in death

just like father Michael suggested
got her bible protected
pressed against her chest in
faith and yet hopes that her prayers are effective.

yes let’s feed hope’s appetite
acting like we can bring her back to life
Mrs. Bright, in more than just her name
it’s all a part of God’s plan, she complained

And they will wear black as usual,
with a matching hat and shoes as well,
they will honour her Christian daughter
by giving her a catholic funeral.

She called scott, doesn’t like small talk
she thought he thought what she thought that they all thought…
--that the loss was a lot—
but… more often than not, she never saw the awkward in scott

she didn’t hear that motherfu-fucker, mumble a stutter
watching the clutter become just another
hollow exchange – is that all you can say
you only think that you miss her, but she hasn’t been gone for a day.

well okay, Mrs. Bright hung up and prepared to pray
she turned on the lights and
knelt by the night stand
and felt a folded piece of paper by her right hand…

she read the suicide note just like you and I know
hoping Scott truly dies slow
caroline likes the world better dead,
and it was all Scott’s fault, (or) so the letter said

it was the scariest and saddest thing that Mrs. Bright had ever read
Caroline was a suicide…
you think that it would be embarrassing right?
well she thought so too
and then a new thought balloon popped into view
and it grew and grew so huge, it’s all she could muse…
with all she could lose, why even bother with truths?

she’s already dead,
why drag her name through the truth, when the truth is so.. muddy. (x3)
And she will wear black as usual,
with a matching hat and shoes as well
they will honour her Christian daughter
by giving her a catholic funeral. (x2)

The path she walked was a hell of a route.
too scared to find what the truth implies,
She wouldn’t dare to tell them the truth.
Caroline was a suicide,

if scott didn’t know, she wasn’t gonna tell him
she thought this was a farewell to heaven
Well, then. it’s just too early to tell
sometimes burning in hell is just as pearly as well.

And she will wear black as usual,
with a matching hat and shoes as well
Yes, they will honour her Christian daughter
by giving her a catholic funeral.
