Bright Eyes - Padriac my prince

^Ami had a brother once ^Ghe drowned in a bathtub be^Ffore he had ever learned ^Ehow to ^Amtalk and i don't know^G what his name was^F but my mother does ^E i heard her say it once, ^Ampadriac my prince i have all but died from the ^Gsheer weight of my shame. you ^Fcried but no one came and the^E water filled your tiny lungs ^Amappear, my dear, and cry for me. it was ^Gsix years ago today that i ^Flaid you in your grave, your ^Esweet young skin was shining then too.

^Amand so tonight to celebrate i ^Fwill, I will ^Gpoison myself. ^Amanother coughing, shaking fit in a bath^Froom that is ^Gspinning. so i ^Cclose the ^Gdoor and ^Amrest my head on the tile ^Ffloor, ^C sickness and^G sleep turning me^Am cold. i am s^Ctill not ^Gsure, is there some ^Ambetter place i should be ^Fheading towards' ^C where the selfishly ^Gsick and self ^Amabsorbed^{E Am}are welcome.

^Ami saw the future once. i was ^Gdrunk in a phone booth. my ^Feyes were wet and red but i could ^Enot tell what was ^Amsaid and through the ^Gscreams of the traffic^F voices carried^E saying i am sorry on a ^Amday so gray its black inside watching ^Gchurches on tv in a ^Fcoma you don't dream you just ^Ehope that someone sits with you ^Ambabies turn blue when they are ignored like the ^Gsky on summer days before you ^Fturn and walk away^E it has changed you ^Amand so tonight to compensate i ^Fwill ^Gpoison myself. ^Amanother coughing, shaking fit in a bath^Froom that is ^Gspinning.
