No Quiero Funeral

I don't want boxes or crosses or prayers without faith
I don't want speeches that no one will believe
Don't bring me flowers, I won't smell them anymore
Nor sweet tears that I never learned to drink

Don't sing me hymns, don't give me forgiveness
I've already made peace with my heart
If you're coming, let it be to laugh
With smoke in the wind and a will to live

I don't want a funeral, I want a wild trip
Burn me in fire and cleanse my pain
Let the smoke take me where there's no end
And the world breathes after my salt

I'm no saint or martyr, I didn't mean to deceive
I was shadow and I was light, I was hard to love
But if I learned anything, it's that when saying goodbye
Better a laugh than seeing you suffer

Pass me that flower that doesn't go in a vase
Light it up slow, 'cause I'm flying first
Don't cry for me, this isn't the end
It's just the beginning of walking without feeling

And when they burn me, don't throw me in the sea
Use my ashes for something real
Mix me in the earth where the Sun sprouts
In a marijuana plant with all the control

I don't want a funeral, I want roots and a channel
Let my ashes be fertilizer for celestial crops
Let my soul bloom in every lethal branch
And always have the green, the old original

I don't want a funeral, I want a wild trip
Burn me in fire and cleanse my pain
Let the smoke take me where there's no end
And the world breathes after my salt

I don't want a funeral, I want a wild trip
Burn me in fire and cleanse my pain
Let the smoke take me where there's no end
I don't want a funeral (I want a wild trip)
(Burn me in fire) and cleanse my pain
(Let the smoke take me)
I don't want a funeral (I want a wild trip)
(Burn me in fire) and cleanse my pain
(Let the smoke take me)

I'm no saint or martyr, I didn't mean to deceive
I was shadow and I was light, I was hard to love
But if I learned anything, it's that when saying goodbye
Better a laugh than seeing you suffer
