you got a train to the city and then a bus to the town you wandering around, searching for me found you inside of a church but praying to no one you said you did it for fun, you knew it was absurd we found a better place the only way we could the only ones who would, you felt we'd ran away i guess we sort of did, all the way to my room and in it we'd entomb ourselves and never admit we listened to we cool? on repeat you heard the perfect sound you'd like to keep in yr head for as long as you can snuck out a window at night, met in the bar near the pier you thought you'd never be free and almost proved yourself right you leaving books everywhere but keeping some for yourself putting them on yr shelf, you didn't seem to care nutrition for the dead, something along those lines i really don't know why, guess bodies need to be fed to keep their skin looking nice, to make sure that they will grow 270 bones feeling cold as ice we listened to i look like shit and sang along as if the words could fix what we'd already fucked up so bad we got out, we found out, it wouldn't work for us as it had them we'd try, and we'd fight it off for a while, we were okay, until we realized our big mistake was not giving up we listened to / i don't know why it could have been but then it died we almost made it

i'm gonna stare at the sun so that my eyes might melt and then i'll finally have an explanation for falling short i'm really doing ok, maybe you'd be surprised, i can't remember when i last felt "i gotta write a new song, gotta learn how to try, gotta find another reason just to not want to die" but forty minutes is nothing when i'm listening to you i don't go, i stay at home i don't go, i stay alone why should i just stand there pretending to talk to her on the phone to avoid people that i don't know? words can never come easy, conversation hurts, and then i start feeling lost and it'll only get worse my future's far too bright, i need to look at the ground of course they know it, yeah they know it and they've known it forever, the diagnosis was far worse than you could ever imagine and i can't seem to cough quieter today i don't go, i stay at home i swear to god i'll die alone

you know how it goes the hero dies or the hero goes home ginkgo was mostly fine except for when left alone she didn't mean to but she started a fire in her own mind it took only one bite to do it, to end her life left to her own devices ginkgo and the story of & don't understand how it came to be my dog don't know the story of the ampersand and to be frank neither do we so this was it she liked how it felt but not what it meant here in the now she wanders around guiding the dead it wasn't intentional and she doesn't know why but she can't change anything and she's sorry that everybody dies i'm stuck on the endings always ginkgo and the story of & don't understand how it came to be my dog don't know the story of the ampersand and to be frank neither do we we all knew that we were sick but not that we had been poisoned hey dot dot dot are you up followed by a question mark i never know which words to say ginkgo and the story of & don't understand how it came to be my dog don't know the story of the ampersand and to be frank neither do we
