It's time, I should be leaving, it's time for me to go

A painting on my ceiling and your footprints in the snow

They found you in Christmas morning beneath the tree in the front yard

The sound, the screams, the mourning as we send sympathy cards

Hydrocodone acid-washed brain

A shame, a total loss

They said that they did all they could

That boy's been dead since childhood

Leave me alone to analyze

The sour power of surprise

A ticker out of time and whack

Too young to die of heart attacks

I guess I should be going, there's nothing I can say

To keep your dad from throwing up at least three times a day

They found you in Christmas morning beneath the tree in the back yard

The pounding of your mother's fist while freezing in the car

Oxycodone acid-washed brain

A shame, a total loss

They said that they did all they could

That boy's been dead since childhood

Leave me alone to analyze

The sour power of surprise

A ticker out of time and whack

Too young to die of heart attacks

I'd kill for a drink

(Fetch me a drink)

Casket to carry

Try not to think

(Try not to think)

About you dead and buried

Hydrocodone acid-washed brain

A shame, a total loss

They said that they did all they could

That boy's been dead since childhood

Leave me alone to analyze

The sour power of surprise

A ticker out of time and whack

Too young to die of heart attacks
