The Perfect Ending
Straylight Run
Taken in context, it’s not a bad thing
but when you start to pick it apart,
it gets so depressingIt’s that sort of thing that makes you think too much
It’s that sort of thing that makes you lose your objectivity

i need no other memory of the bits of me i left
when all this lethal drinking is to hopefully forget about you
