I lay next to myself breathing slow Car crash in rewind There’s nothing you could have done, said a soft voice Calm down, you will survive Leave me out of my mind sedated Bitter and blurry eyed Please don’t look in my face when I’m wasted You know you can’t relate And the world got a little more dim tonight The world got a little more dim tonight Though you had to go, I won’t forget your light The world got a little more dim tonight Days come, just like our friends, with a soft glow A warm touch that slowly fades You’re just out of my reach in the shadows Still young, but weathered gray And the world got a little more dim tonight The world got a little more dim tonight Though you had to go, I won’t forget to fight The world got a little more dim tonight I will protect your light Lay down with me tonight, breathing slow Back in the driveway Rest now, kiss me goodbye in the morning I’m with you always And the world got a little more dim tonight The world got a little more dim tonight Though you had to go, I won’t forget to fight The world got a little more dim tonight

I know mourning is mourning and we heal differently Right now it’s all I see In my brokenness I found some peace This mourning wakes my memories When I got it wrong and you let me know When I got it right and you told me so Slow at first but it’s rushing now When I look for you and you’re not around Don’t let me drown I want to keep you forever my love But wanting is never enough, so stay with me I need somebody to save me I’m caught in a flood Stay with me, Stay with me I want some more time, I can’t give you up One lifetime is never enough, so stay with me More than a body, you’re more than my heart you’re my blood Stay with me, Stay with me If there’s no cure and there’s no medicine Do we count the days until the end? We’ve got the count the fix is in It’s been decided before it begins Stay close, stay close No I can’t stay here and let you go I lost my faith but heaven knows It can’t be your time to go Can’t stay here and let you go I want to keep you forever my love But wanting is never enough, so stay with me I need somebody to save me I’m caught in a flood Stay with me, Stay with me I want some more time, I can’t give you up One lifetime is never enough, so stay with me More than a body, you’re more than my heart you’re my blood Stay with me, Stay with me Let’s see the world you’ve never seen before Let’s drink it up swallow it whole Clear at first but you’re fading out Take my hand don’t leave me now, don’t leave me now I want to keep you forever my love But wanting is never enough, so stay with me I need somebody to save me I’m caught in a flood Stay with me, Stay with me I want some more time, I can’t give you up One lifetime is never enough, so stay with me More than a body, you’re more than my heart you’re my blood Stay with me, Stay with me

My fire is starved of oxygen A flicker in the howling wind Beware the night is closing in And if I fall asleep the shadows win Well the darkness came to take my faith It tried to steal my words to pray My love came down like holy rain And She became my god that day She taught me how to think out loud To listen when there ain’t no sound To love myself through all the doubt To sing and make my mother proud In the dark I learned to love again A sacred place it’s always been Where souls depart and life begins The dark led me to light again

I wasn’t built for this my head can’t make any damn sense of this so it sings Can’t remember the smell and I can’t recall the taste but I try everyday If I wasn’t so afraid I’d shine a light up to space Then my soul could be Strong enough to see your face One more day I found notes that you hid sharing secrets and fears that were meant to stay hid Moving stuff out your room leaves me feeling emptier than the room where you stayed If I wasn’t so afraid I’d shine a light up to space Then my soul could be Strong enough to see your face Give me one more day

Look at the desperate man Clutching with broken hands Wondering how it ends Stumbling back and forth Looking to start a war I’m lucky he was a friend Wait Take me apart and I’ll flow like water slowly fade I’m disappearing again He would’ve risked it all He wanted to heed the call This was the last attempt But as he turns to go A broken voice cuts through the cold "this ain’t how it ends" Wait Take me apart and I’ll flow like water slowly fade I’m disappearing again Time and space, there’s never enough and i don’t mind waiting for The day Everyone here will go mad I was the foolish man Living to fight again But dying to find the end

Girl, perfectly her, broken and hurt Soft and asleep in the morning gray Shake off the night and don’t hide your face The sun lights the world with a single flame I want you to see this Today and all of your days, I’ll wear your pain Heal what I can in your troubled mind Sometimes our bodies will hurt for some time And the beauty in that can be hard to find I want you to find it I want you to see this So run, wake up and run my little one I wanna tear down these walls that can’t hold you inside And rip out the cords and uncover your eyes We’ll make our escape in the dark of night I need you to see this Girl You’ll see the world and you’ll come to learn That falling in love is a strange work of art All of your battles will shape who you are And know that your scars are my favorite part I want you to know this

Come now child the day is long Hide not yourself from me Angels sing the final song Silence will turn to sleep Take heed my son The darkness will come Blackholes will bend the proudest ones And change up your symmetry Just as the night swallows the sun I know you’ll come for me Take heed my son The darkness will come Rest now, my child, the day is done The dark comes for everything Inside the heart of everyone There lives infinity

Covered in dust The wings of my porcelain dove They don’t trouble the waters my love Frozen in time Fragile to touch She melts like the words on my tongue The goddess of heavenly love Fades outta sight All your stars are in view I get lost loving you Dark was the night Her shape burned a void in my eyes It was black but so violently bright Like the birth of a sun So i cried out But my voice could not be heard aloud For held here safe in my mouth The bird was done All your stars are in view I get lost loving you

Some ancient call that I've answered before It lives in my walls and it's under the floor If this was meant for me why does it hurt so much? And if you're not made for me why did we fall in love? A knock at my door, I thought I was alone Unaware of what I thought I needed, I drop like a stone If I'm not mistaken then I was the last to know And if you’ll return for me I'd never want for more You're dislocated, don't be like that And you smile when you dive in, like you're never coming back So hold my body, yeah hold my breath See your face when I black out, I'm never coming back Fear of the water You're dislocated, don't be like that And you smile when you dive in, like you're never coming back So hold my body, yeah hold my breath See your face when I black out, I'm never coming back Fear of the water You're dislocated, don't be like that And you smile when you dive in, like you're never coming back So hold my body, yeah hold my breath See your face when I black out, I'm never coming back Fear of the water

Here stands a man at the bottom of a hole he's made still sweating from the rush his body tense his hands, they shake oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man with a bullet in his clenched right hand don't push in son for he's got the power to crush these lands oh here, hear him cry boy Don't you ever leave me alone my war is over be my shelter from the storm my war is over I am a sad boy Here stands a man at the bottom of a hole he's made still sweating from the rush his body tense his hands they shake oh this, this is the mad boy Here stands a man with a bullet in his clenched right hand but don't push him son for he's got the power to crash these lands oh here, hear him cry boy Don't you ever leave me alone my war is over be my shelter from the storm my war is over I am a sad boy Don't you ever leave me alone be my shelter from the storm my war is over I am a sad boy

Cold bones, yeah that's my love She hides away like a ghost Does she know that we bleed the same? Don't wanna cry but I break that way Cold sheets, oh where's my love? I am searching high, I'm searching low in the night Does she know that we bleed the same? Don't wanna cry but I break that way Did she run away, did she run away, I don't know If she ran away, if she ran away, come back home Just come home I got a fear, oh in my blood She was carried up into the clouds, high above If you bled I'll bleed the same If you're scared I'm on my way Did you run away, did you run away, I don't need to know If you ran away, if you ran away, come back home Just come home

This is my hello This is my clumsy goodbye I’m putting my glass down I wanna remember tonight The silence felt justified Learning your colors The different shades of your eye Give me your worst thought You turn away with a sigh You said you felt patronized In one unending moment You fall within my reach I’m close enough to whisper Hold on to me hold on to me These are my burdens This is that dark I embrace Tell me I’m heavy As you trace the lines on my face They came with my fall from grace Look at my two hands Look at theses cracks and the holes I am my savior I found my truth letting go And I’ve never felt so alone In one unending moment I fall within your reach My song a sweet surrender Hold on to me hold on to me In one unending moment We fall into the sea Recall the words I gave to you Hold on to me hold on to me hold on I found my truth letting go Recall the words I gave to you Hold on to me, hold on to me
