lyrics

New Orleans is the center of the world, so one day you’re bound to return. That’ll be the day that I float up and burn. That’ll be the end of the world.
Adams Street feels like a hell where the cemetery doesn’t seem real. It’s nothing that’s healthy. No, it won’t help me heal. Adams is the end of the world. Adams, where I’ll be interred.

Where the Texas plates won’t go away, a blue civic is starting to fade. There’s people still telling me that I’ll be okay; my family didn’t hear what yours heard (the last time I was in church before this weekend. Way out in Mansfield, your pastor was speaking, said we are all saved but I’m betting he’s reaching). It is finished. He breathed his last breath. Then the priest touched my forehead for almost a minute.

“If the house isn’t yours, son, then why are you in it?”
“It feels like it’s mine more than hers even if it just feels like the end of the world.”

The last night I saw you, I wanted to hate you. White hair fell on shoulders like nothing had happened. Asked you to meet me at Snakes for a farewell. Turned into a normal night so I got shitfaced. You told me you’d come back. Don’t know why you shared that.

You told me you’re back in July like you’re back every night in my mind. Not back for me but for what you left behind, your cat. What’d it do to deserve you? Now I think maybe I’ll stay. Was leaving with you til you had your way.

Maybe I can hate you if I drown in the rain in New Orleans at the end of the world. When I am sinking, my mind will replace you with blood spots at the end of the world. When you return you can stand on my grave eating popcorn when you’ve ended the world. When you return, take a picture of my name cast in concrete.
