It's a sad sadistic final act
Happy families and heart attacks
Tiny little candies strewn across the sunken room
Broken plates and broken homes and broken I love you's
It's an anti-climactic final act
It's a work in progress masterpiece, stretch the truth and nothing but the facts
Your skin is soft and warm, but stings to the touch
How can someone start so goddamn happy and now obsess over leaving so goddamn much
When I leave, I'll wait for your goodbye
I thought I'd make it farther, but who the hell am I?
You will take me back down underneath the willow tree
I thought I'd make it past nineteen, I guess I was naive
It's a sad sadistic final act
Royal tapestry and thumbtacks
I always thought there might be something more underneath
But I'm overcome by the nature of everything's falsity
When I finally lay my head down to die
It will be no one else's fault but mine
I'm sorry that I have to go, I swear it has been fun
But what a relief to be nothing, rather than anyone.
