I had a brother once, he drowned in a bathtub

Before he had ever learned how to talk, and I don’t know what his name was

But my mother does, I heard her say it once

 Padriac, my prince, I've all but died from the sheer weight of my shame

You cried but no one came and the water filled your tiny lungs

 Appear, my dear, and cry for me it was six years ago today

That we laid you in your grave, your sweet young skin was shining then too

And so tonight to celebrate, I will, I will poison myself

Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom that is spinning

 So I close the door and rest my head on the tile floor

 Sickness and sleep turning me cold, I'm still not sure

 If there's some better place I could be heading towards

 Where the selfishly sick and self absorbed are welcome

I saw the future once, I was drunk in a phone booth

My eyes were wet and red I could not tell what was said

And through the screams of the traffic, voices carried, saying, "Im sorry"

 On a day so gray it's black inside watching churches on T.V.

In a coma you don’t dream you just hope that someone sits with you

 Babies turn blue when they're ignored like the sky on summer days

Before you turn and walk away it has changed you

So tonight to compensate, I will, I will poison myself

Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom that is spinning.
