about

this is a dirge that i wrote after i found out about a friend, who i adored and respected who got heavily into drugs.

lyrics

You were sunshine to my darkness
You were yellow to my black
And I’d watch you with your paintbrush
And your blond hair pulled back
You were so much younger but you seemed so wise
And I’d always look for answers in your blue green eyes
Your world was like a field all open and wide
And I’d watch you in the moonshine basking in the light
Like a flower, like a flower in its prime

No it’s never ever ever been the same
Everything went crazy, everything changed

It started with your boyfriend
He asked you to get money
So I gave you all my money
Yeah, I saved you with all I had
And when you thought you should just disconnect your phone
So everyone who loved you would leave you alone and
When you had your child that you couldn’t bring home
Cause your junky boyfriend was so stoned
You died in my mind
You died in my soul

No it’s never ever ever been the same
Everything went crazy, everything changed
No it’s never ever ever been the same
No I’ll never look at you in the same old way

No it’s never ever ever been the same
Everything went crazy, everything changed
No it’s never ever ever been the same
No I’ll never look at you in the same old way
No it’s never ever ever been the same and I
Want you back in your sunshine days
