Policarpa

I loved Policarpa so much
Her short life, mine's so long
The way she came to me
Something took her away
And I think it was me
I think about Policarpa a lot
So quiet in her gaze
The dark wave that pulled me under

She saw it too
I know she saw it too
I didn’t know I was happy until I saw her die
Until I saw her die, until
I didn’t know I was happy

Until I saw myself die
Until
It’s like a day
When you wake up
And you don’t know that morning
Was your last sunrise
Your last session
With the TV

I looked at the sky and didn’t ask for anything
If I was going, then take me
With my face painted black
I looked at the sky and didn’t ask for anything
If I was going
Then take me
All worn out and all smeared
And I didn’t ask for anything
If I was going
Then take me

A smile with closed eyes
Crying all bled out
And a love that wasn’t in vain
A smile with closed eyes
Crying all bled out
And a love that wasn’t in vain

I loved Policarpa so much
I loved Poli so much
I loved Policarpa so much
I loved Poli so much
I loved Poli so much
I loved Poli so much
