Keep Close

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
