I'm always thinking 'bout your death
2
wonderin' how it's gonna be
3
not so much how it's gonna go for you,
4
but what it's gonna do for me
5
I think about the tragedy,

huffed out in the messages I left for ex-lovers

the cryptic status updates posted to invoke the most sympathy in others and the desper---

HEY
9
don't look at me that way
10
you're due to die some day
11
and if you've gotta go
12
don't do it easily
13
let's make a melodrama
14
monetize the eulogy
15
I'll write a poem about it - I mean a hit song
16
I want the world to know
17
just how hard it's gonna be for me to carry on
18
and be whole again in the role of The Crier
19
I don't want to bring another dog home
20
that's the last thing I need
21
best to leave it alone
22
not that I would breakdown
23
but I'd have to shake down all the new sheets
24
ya I see what you mean
25

45
I started posting pics
46
I made a video
47
I hit refresh to check my hits every minute or so
