Paroles de Picture on a Napkin

Is it safe to say that you went away
When I know that you just left
The sentiment of a foregone friend
Though it pains us we must accept

The passing tide of a knot untied
Inspires questions of length of life
Euphemisms explain bad decisions
Why do we do what we do?

Just then you were gone
Like a star that’s been stared at too long
Or a picture on a napkin you drew
While we were waiting for our food

Then it all went straight out the door
Just like Kristina on the forest floor
A moment she’d not soon forget
It’s that important

Is it safe to say that you passed away
When I know that you just died
The tipped chair left beneath your lack of breath
You hung yourself in this park

The only silence besides, well, implied violence Or a picture on a napkin you drew
While we were waiting for our food

Then it all went straight out the door
Just like Kristina on the forest floor
A moment she’d not soon forget
It’s that important
