She never saw it coming, thought he had more self-control
But a few semesters as a simple number can really take their toll
They danced at the party, but he kept leaving her alone
To do lines of cocaine in the bathroom where a single lightbulb shone
So many faces without names
Choices that looked just like a game
He came back with a question
And a set of shaking hands
"Do you wanna fuck in the bathroom?
This is a request, not a demand."
She said "Sure" and followed him into his chemical lair
And they immediately preceded to tear at lips and grab at hair
From the kitchen the sound of faint music quietly rolled in
They humped to its steady tempo, but he felt needles on his skin
His heart pumped twice a second
A final moment beckoned
She almost thought he came inside her
But the look on his face wasn't quite right
His body, a quivering machine
Broken and barely alive
She screamed, "Oh my god, what the fuck is going on?"
It all fell apart, took a tragic turn, suddenly was wrong
A drop of blood ran from his nose down to the corner of his mouth
Then his lungs went still--he had lived far longer than he should've been allowed
She never saw it coming
Thought he had more self-control
