oakland kaise permanente lyrics by elizabeth whitington

I remember seeing stitches in the back of your head
Dread calls us all in the darkness again
9 year old me watching TV
Would it hurt more or less if i knew it was coming?
The tidal wave cancer brings
I never got to see you one last time
And that’s how it goes
People silently leave the room
In fear
In hysterics
In a coma
Would you have even known i was there?
And i can’t remember what your voice sounds like
In old photographs and telephones lost to time
You were supposed to be mine forever
Goddamnit, you were supposed to be here
And it’s not your fault
You did your best
But the shadow calls for us all
You left yours for me to inherit
But I forgive you
And in an Oakland hospital, the drip finally stopped

My mother says he’s going to go away for a while
But you may see him again if you’re lucky

You don’t show up in my dreams like you used to
