i drowned in parrot bay

By swing_the_hammer

i'm so drunk that
i wished on the stars
like wishes are real
and i prayed to the gods of lost apathy
that someday i will feel
since when is twelve-thirty
too late
to tell someone who loves you
that it will be okay
since when is it too late

and the siren's song is too convincing
and i'm so gullible
that tonight i'll believe anything
so tell me you love me quick
before i realize
i don't believe in love

baby do you even care

that i sat in some drunk's piss
and cried on the dirt for you

baby do you even care

that i showed up at your house
just to find out
that this pain's getting me nowhere

baby do you even care?

that i died a little too much inside today
and had to hold a funeral service
in my memory

sometimes i feel so passe
and sometimes it seems so cliche
but i drowned in parrot bay
and i'm dead inside
