Write your dad a letter that
Tells him exactly what to think of me
Go to visit him, oh
Show him the pictures you burned
Let yourself hang high
Don't be the whore your mother always said you'd be
Wait for him to come
He's only your oldest of friends
Don't turn around
I'm coming back to you in the morning
Never see my face
Gone in the night, I'll be gone in the night
See those pretty eyes
Shipped away in a hurricane
Wait for him to come
He's only your oldest of friends
Don't look at me
Shattered in a million little peiecs
Cancel all my plans
I'm staying home to watch the sun set
Can you kiss my cheek?
Smothered in foundation and dryrot
Go where the pond ends
Wait for me at the finish line
Don't wait for me
I'm only one in a million
Whisper in my ears
To let the sun go to rest
For me

Oh mother, I'm sleepy now
Wont you come to bed
oh sister, I'm hurting
Cant you help me live
I didn't notice
I had gone to hell
Oh brother, I'm weary
Cant you let me worry alone
Oh father, I'm guilty
Don't leave me behind
I didn't notice
When the love was gone
I didn't notice
When the light had changed

Drowning

All the kings horses
And all the kings men
Couldn't put poor me back together again
Oh I'm drowning
Oh I'm drowning to see all
The jocks slit her throat
Thought she was sick but I don't know
How they found out
Oh I'm drowning
Oh I'm lucky to be
Among gods with men
But the patron of angels chose me
To Die
Oh I'm drowning
Oh I'm chained to a tree
and I cant hear a sound
AND the screams of my friends
are all locked above the lake
OH I'm drowning
Threatened by shadows
She walks through the night
To the grave of a boy who thought he
Was a man
Oh I'm drowning
Won't you let me be?
