A Sudden Loss of Innocence
The Weakend Lyrics

It was a gorgeous night.
The weather was beautiful and perfect for outdoor activity.

And just past the light pollution
Away from the city, the sky was clear and stars were visible.

The stars were dancing in the ballroom sky.
The sky was so clear that the stars looked like they were dancing.

The ocean breeze smelled just right
The breeze from the ocean smelled pleasant and refreshing.

And flowed past the Appalachians,
The ocean breeze flowed over the Appalachian Mountains.

A few hundred miles away and took the floor.
Despite being hundreds of miles away, the ocean breeze was still present and felt.

The screams grew louder as he opened the door

Just fucking kill me she begged. So, I lit a match to set her free.

It was so beautiful

And I just sat among the grass and watched the fire and the stars.

The house went up in smoke

And as I watched it flash and roar I wondered who we really are.

The niacin and Vicodin dissolved under her tongue

151 and shattered glass, the pathetic mess that she had become.
