had a good friend who had to leave. was pissed, got really drunk. wrote a song about it. you know.

tonight the lights will go out
and i'll curse the darkness
all because you're leaving
the sun will go down
and the lightbulbs implode
cause you're leaving
so light two cigarettes and pass one to me
i'd suck down poison just to be around you
and now i'm coughing up a lung
and cursing all our higher ups
cause you're leaving

and i don't fear being alone,
just not having you around--
going now might leave us stunted, like i wasn't runty enough
and every hit will be for you, just like every sober day
the vacuum in the bottom of the bottle sucked me in when you went away
