I watched a man die last night

Shoveled pills but they couldn’t even keep him alive

And when I saw my reflection in those empty eyes 

I bit my tongue

And he said, “Boy, it seems I’ve finally reached my time

The gross unknown, the twisted blurry lines,”

And I couldn’t help but stand there stone and petrified 

I wish I’d said goodbye

If I see your face again I think I'll fall apart

Conflated, left in idle stress, you found your way in to my art

Floating down the lake bed, tears piled in my arms

‘Cause it all leads down to something less, 

We feel so small amongst the stars

If I die here wondering, "Was I ever enough?"

Deflated, lost the confidence to bottle it up

Falling through the mattress, fear boils and erupts

No lifeline can save me drowning, I’m giving up

So I looked to myself

And asked “Who the hell am I?

Was the death of who I was a noble sacrifice?”

Shoveled pills and then drank the liquid suicide

I’ll let fate carry me tonight

And he said, “Boy, it seems I’ve finally reached my time

The gross unknown, the twisted blurry lines,”

And I couldn’t help but stand there stone and petrified 

I wish I’d said goodbye
