*author's note before we start I wanted to mention, instead of writing [character, spoken] it will just be in quotation marks, and italicized to make it easier for me. Also this chapter doesn't have any dialogue that's outside of the soundtrack, because when this song ends the next one begins right after it*

Daylight come and me wan' go...

Ah, ah, ah, aaaaaahhhhh

[Priest]
"In times like these we have no words,
We have only each other.
Today, we come together to mourn the passing of Emily Deetz,
Devoted wife of Charles,
Beloved mother to Lydia.
Scripture tells us,
Sorrow not,
For we do not walk alone."

[Lydia]
You're invisible when you're sad,
Clocks tick and phones still ring.
The world carries on like mad,
And nobody sees a thing.
Whispering behind their hands,
Lost for kind words to say.
Nobody understands,
Then everyone goes away.

Grown ups wanna fix things,
When they can't,
It only fills them with shame.
So they just look away.
Is it being greedy,
To need somebody to see me,
And say my name.

Seems when you lose your mom,
No one turns off the sun.
Folks carry on that's that,
You're invisible when you're sad.

[Betelgeuse]
"Holy crap,
A Ballad already?
And such a bold departure from the original source material!"
