The pineapple vs the watermelon


Can I pray for your return?
the bird I am looking for is not in me
it is you
it's so clear you missed it
what we saw in you
green like flame
someone felt something pure
and told it all to you
that was why you killed yourself
to prove it wasn't true
say hello to Cory's mom
say hello to Freddy's mom
say hello to Ryan's mom
we're all and have been
on your side
what is worse for you to bear
it's obscene
why you missed
what they saw in you
grey like flame
can I pray for your return?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE PINEAPPLE VS THE WATERMELON of XIU XIU is also present in the album The air force (2006)
