It's called "Adrian"

Adrian came home again last summer
Things just haven't been the same 'round here
And people talk
And people stare
Oh, Adrian, come out and play

An unfortunate accident in a canoe
Doctor said, "I'm sorry not much I can do"
And the air was so still
And his eyes, they did not blink
Oh, Adrian, come out and play

Little Mary Epperson liked him
She vowed always to take good care of him
But still he did not move
And the doctor said, "It's no use"
Oh, Adrian, come out and play

She sat by his side and watched the years fly by
He looked so fragile, he looked so small
And she wondered why he was still alive at all
Everyone in town had that "I'm-so-sorry look"
They talked in a whispered hush, said
"I'd turn the machines off"
But still she sat by his side
She said, "Life, he won't be denied"
Oh, Adrian, come out and play
And yellow flowers decorate his bedroom
A sign above the door says, "Welcome Home"
And he just sits and stares
He's awake but he's still not there
Oh, Adrian, come out and play

So she sat by his side and watched the years fly by
He looked so fragile, he looked so small
She wondered why he was still alive at all
Little Mary Epperson grew up lovely
And she vowed always to visit him on Sundays
He's like an unused toy
He's got big hands but the mind of a little boy
Oh, Adrian, come out and play

Adrian came home again last summer
Things just haven't been the same around here

I'm gonna do one, I haven't, I just wrote it
Okay, I gotta think about it
I was really bummed when I wrote this
'Cause it's funny
When you grow up in some place like Alaska
It's so beautiful and it's really easy to have some faith, you know what I mean?
And faith, after all, is what carries you through like the darkest of days
You just have to believe that time will pass, somehow the tide will come back in, and I won't feels so incredibly shitty tomorrow
And it's hard, 'cause like people lose faith, you know, when you're surrounded by crime, and murder, and pollution everyday
But it's really what like makes everything okay, and I, I think if we could just be—shut up, I'm talking
That was obnoxious, girl
I was kidding
God, I'm insulting people
So anyways, I thought if we can be surrounded by beauty we become what we see
'Cause all we're told in the news is how evil we are, and how racist we are, and all these things
