Lyrics

The clock struck thirteen, I’d like to think you
You were too good for this Earth, but it was a freak accident
How could you expect this to happen?
How dare the skies stay blue while you’re hooked up
To a ventilator, I’m down three floors
Being evaluated, about to look for a get-well card
How serious could it be
Learning young loss?
I wish you would’ve switched with me
That’s how I wanted it to be
But instead I’ll dress up nicely
And look at something that isn’t you
We’ve both been stricken
You in the head, me in the pew
I can feel my eyes bleeding
Rain with a clouded mind, but I can’t let it out
At your wake
Your mother sputtered out, "He loved what you said"
But you were dead
Before the card made its way up to your room
Ignore the gloom
By rewriting history, but I don't blame her
You and I left on bad terms
And you left in an orange hoodie on a broken zipline
No closure
No closure
