Song fades in
Your little brother never tells
you but he loves you so
You said your mother only
smiled on her TV show
You're only happy when your
sorry head is filled with dope
I hope you make it to the day
you're 28 years old

overflowing sink
You're ripped at every edge but
you're a masterpiece
And now you're tearing
through the pages and the ink

In the studio with a white background,

Everything is blue
His pills, his hands, his jeans
And now I'm covered in the
colors
Pulled apart at the seams
And it's blue
And it's blue

His hair, his smoke, his

And now he's so devoid of

He don't know what it means
And he's blue
And he's blue

You were a vision in the


morning when the light came
through
I know I've only felt religion
when I've lied with you
You said you'll never be
forgiven 'til your boys are too
And I'm still waking every
morning but it's not with you

And you decided purple just
