Songs For Dead People
by Peter Holliday

Turn it up
turn it up
all the way
'til the music cracks
fucks up
blows the speakers
and it doesn't matter
not anymore
'cause you know what it means
this song is sung by her brother
written by the guitar player who couldn't
tell her
but its not about not being able to tell her
not about not being able to have her
not anymore
its about losing her
its about wanting to vomit
its about a nineteen year old with a heart tumor from now on
this is gonna be the loudest angriest thing
they can get out
so turn it up
turn it up
all the way
'til I can't hear it anymore
signal to noise
beat to silence
