(my fish died when my 3yo brother dumped an entire can of fish food into its bowl)
lyrics
in the summer of 1999 i learned that death was coming
it came for my fish and it would come for me
like a can of tetra flakes
and in that summer it was dead and it was dreary
in the summer of 1999
yea the following winter i was six
my parents left to shovel snow
it was dark outside and the glass was thick
i couldn't see them anymore
and i convinced myself they'd never make it home
til then i'd never felt more alone
in the fall of 2002 death took my mother's cousin
i watched her put the phone on the TTY,
receipts trailing on the floor
and i felt the heaviness of every word she wrote
melissa wasn't gonna make it home
when i was nine i thought i'd try to really comprehend
the thought that i would someday die and so would all my friends
and by wintertime my mom would find the cancer in her chest
she said it was fine
