"That's part of what's so great about learning other people's lyrics: It's like learning another language. To me, that's what being a music fan is all about." ~ Ezra Koenig

stone cold,
clear skin,
corpse-like, pale

jutting ribs,
ghastly thin
dead girl walking

am I so ignorant
That I have let
Your slow death
Go unnoticed

You said
Don't be sorry.
How can I
Let this go?

I'll be more than sorry
When I am
In attendance
At a funeral
