A Song For The Dearly Departed
when the days are darkest
that's when you know it's august
for failure is hardest
for the dearly departed
the winds of fate are getting colder
summer is almost over
took the time to know her
that's when she told me she wants to get sober
look me in the eye, baby
she smiled and said maybe
burning in hell with hades
oh baby, won't you come down and save me
looking through the diaries of gemini's
looking for a paradise for you and i
i don't even need an alibi
cause i'm slowly sinking in a suicide
