She lived alone on a plastic hill,
She sold her soul for a bouquet of pills,
I held her close, and felt her fire die.
The room turned red, and began to burn,
You drowned me in the lessons I refused to learn.
Now I trudge back home, feeling dead inside.
A tortured soul on the edge of death,
I broke the surface for a final breath,
And lifeless eyes caught a starless sky.
I heard your voice whisper in my ear,
"Don't drown your love in a sea of fear.
Though my body fades, I'm always by your side."
To the tune of Grapevine Fires by Death Cab for Cutie
