Lyrics for Heart Attacks

It's time I should be leaving, it's time for me to go A painting on my ceiling and your footprints in the snow They found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the front yard The sound, the screams, the mourning As we send sympathy cards Hydrocodone acid-washed brain A shame, a total loss They said that they did all they could That boy's been dead since childhood Leave me alone to analyze The sour power of surprise A ticker out of time and whack Too young to die of heart attacks I guess I should be going There's nothing I can say To keep your dad from throwing up at least 3 times a day They found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the front yard The pounding of your mother's fist while freezing in the car Oxycodone acid-washed brain A shame, a total loss They said that they did all they could That boy's been dead since childhood Leave me alone to analyze The sour power of surprise A ticker out of time and whack Too young to die of heart attacks I'd kill for a drink (Fetch me a drink) Casket to carry Try not to think (Try not to think) About you dead and buried Hide your gun on acid washed Brain a shame, a total loss They said that they did all they could That boys been dead since childhood Leave me alone to analyze Saw our power after pride Ticker out of time and whack To be young and die of heart attack
