Heart Attacks

Alkaline Trio

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 climb Christmas morning beneath the tree and 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 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

I guess I should be going, there's nothing I can say
To keep your dad from throwing up at least three times a day
The fun Christmas morning beneath the tree and the back yard
The calming of your mother's quips while losing you in a car

Oxycodone acid washed brain
A shame, a total loss
They said that they did all they could
That boy 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

I came for a drink
Fetch me my drink, caskets and carriage, try not to think
Try not to think about you dead and buried

Hydrocodone acid washed brain
A shame, a total loss
They said that they did all they could
That boy 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
