about

A good friend of mine recently passed on to a different realm, and it made me really angry and sad, and this is just one perspective that came out of that greif.. A sort of letter from a chronically ideatory boy to a terminally ill girl. I love you Hallie <3

lyrics

Watch the leaves fall
Hit the pavement till they're nothing
Just gunk in your shoe

And the tree fell in the forest
Didn’t hear it
But it still happened

I wish we could trade bodies
I think you’d do much better than I
With The luxury of body
With the luxury of body
With the luxury of body

Watch the roses grow
Watch them cut them down
In mid bloom

And the garlic
It’s still in the ground
But they can’t cut all of the tumor out

And when the cancer is a cancer
And the brain bleed is a brain bleed
Then there is no need
To exaggerate

I wish we could trade bodies
I think you’d do much better than I
With The luxury of body
I’d lay it all down including my time

For you to have a body that
Doesn’t eat up your brain over night

I wish we could trade bodies
I know it’s so selfish of me to say
You’d never take a deal so grim
You’d want me to verbalize
All of this pain
