lyrics

The day started normally my bad dream just wouldn't leave.
I saw her get cut in half but no it didn't bother me.
I walked by two churches on the same block.
It all seemed relevant but for what?
You know I never bothered to ask
Did you find it funny when I offered you advice on destroying your past?
Promise me you laughed cause I know I am
He's got the writer’s block of a runaway
Afraid to put in such a permanent ink what he knows they'll say
God please stay as we run away
Never take for granted something that's been given to you as a gift he said
I don’t have a way to express the pain in my head.
I looked up at him and said
Keep your vices in check and your heart will impress you with how much it can forgive
God please stay as we all run away
And we all know why it was just too much to show up this time to show up tonight
Oh the bitterness that I have seen worn and tattered on your sleeve
From the sweater I made you out of all my self-esteem.
Wear it out please wear it out without a doubt I couldn't care less.
If these words are marks on your body and these antagonists are all of my friends
I still couldn't care less

Find a different means to make it end.
You're like a splinter in my finger but I can't keep it still
There’s so much happiness that lingers but let’s forget the heart it filled.
I will drain this place of all its nutrients
Go town to town wearing down the people that love me
Someday soon I'll lose the good fight from inside my own cocoon
We are only as sick as the sum of our secrets
Some say it was human kinds first mistake to love so strongly with a heart that breaks
But I believe it to be our greatest strength to stay unwavering in love while the world loses its faith.
I'll trade you a title for a body let's see which one they ask for
And I thought about all the things you said that kept me here that kept me fed
Glass molded frame
Drawing curtains closed
Both arms losing distance
Stopping dead in set tracks
Circle back again
This old paved road
It always leads to stone
Surrounded by these homes
Only one enclosed half a circle shown
Oh how long I’ve longed to know
Just how long you’ve been awake
