lyrics

Saw the headline, scrolling the news at night
Thought I'd text my old friend that night but I didn't know what to write
Robin Williams, dead in Tiburon
And to this day I can't tell ya why I'm still fixated on it
Didn't know the man
And i don't know his life
But I've watched Jumanji probably 200 times
Yeah, in my favorite scene they almost lose the game
But they save it at the last minute and he laughs in this crazy way
I always think about that laugh and his little smile
Something uncontainable, larger than life
Couldn't reconcile the gap that I felt between the crazy character and the fate that befell him
Yeah he hung himself
Fucking hell
What a fucked up lonely death for the genie in the lamp
The dead poets guy
Mrs doubtfire
No way to make sense of it, it was just too dark

Saw your silhouette pass by the wall again
Yeah I saw my old friend last night and we drank to oblivion
He says I lost the thread, something important
and to this day i can't tell what to live for instead
i know what it's like missing half your life
he says I see my old man in everything that i write
Yeah, i can relate to the parent thing
Yeah I saw my own folks last night and i see me in everything
Every petty deed
the control need
even how they question you when you come with a problem
Saw the headline, they're burning the Amazon
Yeah i spoke to my mom last night and she'll go there alone
These people
fucking hell
What a fucked up world we leave to the ones that we love
Robin Williams, dead in Tiburon
I can't truly say how come it meant so much to me when he died
