In the middle of the night I can do it just right
It seemed like a good idea at the time
And the morning light will sting and blind
With all the things that I've been running from
Remember how scary it was?

So I dive right in, but the current is swift
My arms won't swim

Night it slides into day
Spills over your face
Departure time, we'll debate
Like a map to a maze
These momentary wars we wage

Coffee curdling grey
Sipped slowly all day
Glowing lights, bathroom breaks
Postcards never make
They never make their way

I lo

Take out the knife deep in my back
We'll drown here in my blood
It's either this or a heart attack
Spent our years lighting up the black corners of our love
Only to fall victim to your dagger, they say

And when you're playing that guitar
You're really playing me
It'

You've got hell in your hands
But you're frozen by it, man
So I'll ask you again
Have you borrowed all your friends' ability to smile and mean it?
I'll ask you again
Could you force a grin for them?

Cause they'll barely tie your hands until visiting hours end
And I

Meet me in the shade
Say those things to me
Take back all the time we spent alone in agony
Take back all your wrongs
I'll take back the songs I wrote
When I could not hold on except by the throat

I'll keep to myself somehow
I'm down in the shade for now
Just for

Go ahead and slide your empty glass
Full of melting ice and borrowed class
Across the table to my shaking hand
Be sure to avoid eye contact
I'm merely a man

Curl your fingers around an empty threat
Cling to your drink like your life depends
Cut your ties thin as an

On the day that you died
In between silver wings
On the day that you died
My helpless voice cries as you fade away

On the day that you died
The earth was cold and grey
On the day that you died
I sat and hid my face

When I catch a break
I'll bring it home to you
You can take the sharpest blade and cut off this here noose
When my arms won't work
When my eyes fall out
I won't have a single thing to piss and moan about
There'll always be you

When I catch a break
I'll bring it home to you
You can take the sharpest blade and cut off this here noose
When my arms won't work
When my eyes fall out
I won't have a single thing to piss and moan about
There'll always be you

You and all your friends

What do you say when everything's been mended right?
How do you feel now that you can sleep at night in a bed where you're not alone?
I'm afraid of coming home
I lost my head
How do you spell the words you're so afraid to write?
How do you leave my side?
My heart's been o
