First you take the sum of my pain
Multiply it by the pleasures I might never taste again
When you subtract everything I can’t do, tell me what is left
Life became nothing but a waiting room for death
Day and night pain with no meaning
Grieving though my heart’s still beating
The life I knew is gone and buried where the purple flowers grow
Pain lays waste to goodness and reason
Take your claims to selfhood and keep them
The me I knew is gone and buried where the purple flowers grow
I love the ajisai in June
Time’s impenetrable song
And along the lake the sun went down the purple flowers bloomed
That was when I knew that something was wrong
Day and night pain with no meaning
Grieving though my heart’s still beating
The life I knew is gone and buried where the purple flowers grow
I can’t live like this any longer
Forgive me I couldn’t be stronger
Promise me that you’ll remember
Where the purple flowers grow
All the dark corridors and the pain and the pills
It’s my last fucking night, you can bet I’ll get my thrills
There must be a mistake, this body isn’t mine
Lipstick and leather, I really must be fine
Speeding towards destruction and how
You were lining up once, do you want me now?
Take one last parting shot as I go down
In blue flowers and spite I drown drown drown
They tell me it’s imperative I wrap up this narrative
Neatly, self-destruct sweetly, you don’t want to see me, afraid you could be me
Rather burn than rot, to be or not, I can see an end
Pretty and sick
Arithmetic was never my friend
When I put two and two together
And make nothing
At all
I can’t live like this any longer
Forgive me I couldn’t be stronger
Promise me that you’ll remember
Where the purple flowers grow
Multiply it by the pleasures I might never taste again
When you subtract everything I can’t do, tell me what is left
Life became nothing but a waiting room for death
Day and night pain with no meaning
Grieving though my heart’s still beating
The life I knew is gone and buried where the purple flowers grow
Pain lays waste to goodness and reason
Take your claims to selfhood and keep them
The me I knew is gone and buried where the purple flowers grow
I love the ajisai in June
Time’s impenetrable song
And along the lake the sun went down the purple flowers bloomed
That was when I knew that something was wrong
Day and night pain with no meaning
Grieving though my heart’s still beating
The life I knew is gone and buried where the purple flowers grow
I can’t live like this any longer
Forgive me I couldn’t be stronger
Promise me that you’ll remember
