Padraic My Prince Lyrics
I had a brother once
He drowned in a bathtub
Before he had ever learned how to talk
And I don't know what his name was
But my mother does
I heard her say it once
Padriac, my prince, I've all but died
From the sheer weight of my shame
You cried but no one came
And the water filled your tiny lungs
Appear, my dear, and cry for me
It was six years ago today
That I laid you in your grave
Your sweet young skin was shining then too
And so tonight to celebrate, I will, I will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom that is spinning
So I close the door and rest my head on the tile floor
Sickness and sleep turning me cold
I'm still not sure
Is there some better place I should be heading towards?
Where the selfishly sick and self absorbed are welcome
I saw the future once
I was drunk in a phone booth
My eyes were wet and red
But I could not tell what was said
And through the screams of the traffic
Voiced carried, saying, "Im sorry"
On a day so gray it's black inside
Watching churches on TV
In a coma you don't dream
You just hope that someone sits with you
Babies turn blue when they're ignored
Like the sky on summer days
Before you turn and walk away
It has changed you
So tonight to compensate, I will, I will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom that is spinning
hey poet insomniac how many songs have you been? hahahahahaha
Every line of this song is sad. You don't see much of that... and i love it
Why does everyone think that interview is real? God....And yeah, Padriac colum, with the whole storytelling style. Ever wonder why?
Understandably, Oberst does a fantastic job relaying the misery of the mom after the death of her baby. Not every singer/songwriter can put so much of the right kind of emotion in such a song.
this could be the saddest song i've ever been
it's genius though. conor oberst is a genius.
it's genius though. conor oberst is a genius.
conor amazes me... i mean his lyrics and voice pulls you into the songs like nobody else can ps... good one therymz
"in a coma you don't dream, you just hope that someone sits with you." - this whole song is so beautiful and so sad.
Did Conor really have a brother who drowned in a bath tub?
