Alyeska, Alyeska
You looked to me with eyes so blue
Beautiful and sour in your sweet youth
A girl bittersweet and true
You weren’t like the others
You sang a breathable truth
While they danced in the arms of their own brothers
Alyeska, Alyeska
You handed me false promises
Tainted with the red blood of time wasted
While they preached of nameless goddesses
And you went the extra mile
Just to make up for grades that never lasted
Oh, how we all adored your smile
Alyeska, Alyeska
Forgive me now for what I must do
You’re the one who encouraged their losses
And I’m the one who needs to forget you
You showed me how to feel
While they put you on their crosses
You showed me how to be real
Alyeska, Alyeska
You watched me do as students must
We sleep and believe breath-taking lies
While your dreams become dust
You glared at me with a dying light
You made me feel your butterflies
You showed me how to shine so bright
Alyeska, Alyeska
What good am I?
I encouraged you to steal and cheat
But only you could fly
They found a way to Hell
But you decided to die of a different heat
While I listened to the hollow sound of the school bell
Alyeska, Alyeska
I learned what love was through your crookedness
I learned how to be a clown
You learned what a traitor was through our brokenness
You determined to die of a broken heart
And they offered me a crown
Because I taught the teacher how to fall apart
