Short Stories/Song Lyrics

11 - Bury A Friend // Ilomilo

Billie. What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me? What are you wondering? What do you know? Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me? When we all fall asleep, where do we go? Come here. Say it, spit it out! What is it exactly? Is the payin' cleanin you out and bringin you down with my satisfactory? Today, I'm thinkin about the things that are deadly. The way I'm drinkin you down like I wanna drown like I wanna end me. Step on the glass, staple your tongue. Bury a friend, try to wake up. Cannibal class, killin the son. Bury a friend, I wanna end me. What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me? What are you wondering? What do you know? Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me? When we all fall asleep, where do we go? Listen. Keep you in the dark. What? Had you expected me to make you my art and make you a star and get you connected? I'll meet you in the park. I'll be calm and collected 'cause we knew right from the start that you'd fall apart 'cause I'm too expensive! You talk about something that shouldn't be said out loud. Honestly, I thought that I would be dead by now. Wow. Calling security, keeping my head held down. Bury the hatchet, I'll bury your friend right now. The debt I owe- gotta sell my soul 'cause I can't say no. No I can't say no. My limbs are froze and my eyes won't close 'cause I can't say no. I can't say no. Careful. Step on the glass, staple your tongue. Bury a friend, try to wake up. Cannibal class, killin the son. Bury a friend, I wanna end me. What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me? What are you wondering? What do you know? Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me? When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

Told you not to worry, but maybe that's a lie. Honey, what's your hurry? Won't you stay inside? Remember not to get too close to stars. They're never gonna give you love like ours. Where did you go? I should know! But it's cold and I don't wanna be lonely so show me the way home. I can't lose another life. Hurry! I'm worried! The world's a little blurry or, maybe, it's my eyes. The friends I've had to bury-- they keep me up at night and say I couldn't love someone cause I might break. If you're gonna die? Not by mistake. So, where did you go? I should know! But it's cold and I don't wanna be lonely so tell me you'll come home even if it's just a lie. I try not to upset you and let you rescue me. The day I met you, I just wanted to protect you, but now I'll never get to. Hurry! I'm worried! Where did you go? I should know! But it's cold and I don't wanna be lonely. I was hoping you'd come home. I don't care if it's a lie.
