help me learn

screeching crackling pounding zing zing zip sudden death of my friend

how can I forget or forgive who can I blame who can I hate

help me learn

help me climb out of this hole my love makes for me

there is no ending

only my death can pay the price

I give thanks for our common fate

in our deaths can we finally understand?
