about

written in 2015 as a concept for the mourning of a lost one

lyrics

Shitty car and shitty neighborhood
We all know you did the best you could.
Shitty job and shitty pay
We all know how you'd spend your day.

There's nothing on TV
That's what you would say to me.
"There's nothing wrong with me"
Well that's what you would say to me.
And I hate how you didn't try.
I wish I never said that I cried.
You left an option for suicide
and no one's been the same since you died.

You were like a thrown away recycling bag.
Dancing around a landfill, wasted and sad.
I just felt beat down and dragged
when I saw you come out of your apartment in a body bag.

There's nothing on TV
That's what you would say to me.
"There's nothing wrong with me"
Well that's what you would say to me.
And I hate how you didn't try.
I wish I never said that I cried.
You left an option for suicide
and no one's been the same since you died.

You were like a thrown away recycling bag.
Dancing around a landfill, wasted and sad.
I just felt beat down and dragged
when I saw you come out of your apartment in a body bag.
