i passed out in your bathtub that we sat out looking at stars
you said didnt believe in progressive love as you cried in my arms
you said it didnt change anything...
i saw taylor that weekend he didnt look any different to me
he took his life a few days later
and hes just another kid who had his questions answered in his back yard.
backyard
he said he said he said he said he said...
"cheap bleach for lonely boys,"
bleach is cheap this time of year....

i'm still alive and i'm still alone
despite all the love in my home
and the only names i cant forget are those of the people who either died or left me
and please don't play me out
i'll be who you want to see with time
because i'm sick of letting myself down
i've got a couple of cute dead friends and i know a couple who met there ends with a child, like me
and ill be seeing my friends soon if these dreams, they get pursued
Joanna.
the only one i learnt to trust the only one i taught myself to love but its alright...

you ready?
i still smell your perfume in the place where you slept
i've struggled how i've struggled to sleep ever since ever since you left.
and now you've got him the two of you have all you need
and that leaves me
and i dont need anything but the necessities to keep missing you
oh theres nothing
oh theres nothing that ican do.
and we sat out on the hillside
talking about our little lives and you said
"your the only one who knows what i mean, when i wake up crying at 1 am"
and i know its hard enough to fall in love with someone whos happy,
but god dammit girl why couldn't you just love me.
god dammit girl why couldn't you just come back home.

weight for the earth my darling
weight for the dirt to pass over you
and bury you in our mothers grave
your just a bleach boy kid
your bound to fuck up like i did
and drown in the grave i have made...
we dont talk much these days
i wish we talked more these days
but whats there for me to say
oh sisterim sorry, please forgive me
because in a city fall of cheap bleach, ill forget your memories
and only then will i be happy.
(some more melodramatic words)
oh sister i'm sorry please forgive me, for all i've done
