Playing scratch cards in the driver's seat In an empty lot Where I've done spent all my money And pour out all my luck And I stare in the rearview mirror At progenitorial teeth Crooked incisors in my bloodline Of the men in my family I've been chasing loves in states I say are too far away Or that I got too tied up in work To call you on your birthday You say that the chemo burns And that you'd like to die with grace My dad cleaned up your beard As a final thanks You've been fighting this off And I've been neglecting your hospital room You still remember my name But the nurse says that it won't be like that soon You've been fighting this off And I've been neglecting your hospital room I say that I gotta go But I don't have a good reason to When your legs were a bit more strong And your lungs didn't match the asphalt You would take us down to the graveyard Sit in the shade of the magnolias We'd weave between the headstones Leaving flowers for all the unknowns I would trip as I carried your body When we laid you to rest My sister and I were kids We would dance in the green space So unaware of death And unfazed by the grey You've been fighting this off And I've been neglecting your hospital room You still remember my name But the nurse says that it won't be like that soon You've been fighting this off And I've been neglecting your hospital room I say that I gotta go But I don't have a good reason to And when you were my age You were building planes for war And I spent all of my inheritance On some drugs and a beat up car Yeah, when you were my age You were building planes for war And I'd burn through your inheritance When I crashed my first car
