Sleep when you are tired
Don't run away
I understand, it's hard to follow your dreams
Night, it comes and goes
Day is an in-between
Don't be afraid, just follow me
I just want the answers to the questions that won't let me sleep at night
I stay awake
While the world sleeps in darkness
One bright light in the middle of the night
Shine a light upon me
We can walk while it's nighttime
And park our bodies on the grass
I just want the answers to the questions that won't let me sleep at night

Something to Say

We're stuck together
No way out now
Seems like forever, won't get better
You and I can try but we're still bound and tethered
You dug this hole, not me
I tried to stop it
You've got no-one to blame, nothing's the same
Cause you can't give yourself the things you crave
So roll with the punches and come what may
You knew what you wanted and meant astray
Oh you've gotta have something to say
And we walked in the dark and my heart beat
On our single path, down our single street
Oh you've gotta have something to say
We've got a problem
Your glass is the answer
Stumble and fall, tell me all the things you feel
And then tomorrow tell me again
Cause we were strangers
Not love exchangers
No relation or explanation
And we sit here pretending we've never kissed
Don't be the one to ask for more
You might win the battle but lose the war
Oh you've gotta have something to say
Always good but you're never fine
Don't ever put yourself on the line
Oh you gotta have something to say
Something to say
Something to say
You've got to have something to say

My spine’s not straight
I notice it day after crooked day
So I’ll imitate
How it seems like right should feel, and I’m on my way
I can’t pretend
Wishing it’ll change will make it unbend
I understand
Crooked bones and old habits are no way to live
But don’t try to tell me this is the only way
Habits only cling to you as long as you let them, don’t they?
I know that every hour brings me closer to my dying day
Still here I lay
My body, rest
Lie in the hole I dug from the heart in my chest
One toxic breath
Of this dirty air that I have come to expect
Infected dreams
Scrub my mind and rid me of them by any means
But when I’m asleep
I have no choice but living them, I can’t disagree
But don’t try to tell me (I’ll try not to tell myself) this is the only way
Habits only cling to you as long as you let them, don’t they?
I know that every hour brings me closer to my dying day
Still here I lay
But tell me
What’s a date on a page?
A man or an age?
Countless lives in between
Playing could have been
But don’t try to tell me this is the only way
Habits only cling to you as long as you let them, don’t they?
I know that every hour brings me closer to my dying day
Still here I lay

We stared at the ceiling lying in bed
As the sickness in your body spread
Never knew i'd love you, but you finally proved me wrong
You always were a fighter, and dying's never seemed so strong
As they days went by you danced with death
Until the lights went out, your final breath
Your body at war came and went in a year
Though I know what's coming, it's never easy to hear
When I have said all I want you to know
When all the sickness eats at your bones
Will you come around then?
When the world found out you were going to die
It opened up its' arms, but sometimes love's a lie
Hearing those 'I love you's didn't matter anymore
Their passing glances shown right through the masks they wore

Close your eyes and
Start the big sleep
It’s not goodbye
Just counting sheep
Rejected since birth
Doors slammed in your face
Oh, January
It brings you back to earth
And puts me in my place
Oh, January
Bit by bit your
Body shut down
Cage for your soul
Locked to the ground
Rejected since birth
Doors slammed in your face
Oh, January
It brings you back to earth
And puts me in my place
Oh, January
Dresser full of pills
Chemical release
Oh, January
Hospital bills
Till you were at peace
Oh, January
I dream of our
Daughters dancing
No fear of sickness advancing
Rejected since birth
Doors slammed in your face
Oh, January
It brings you back to earth
And puts me in my place
Oh, January
All my tears are dry
Your time with me was brief
Oh, January
Too young to die
Is a false belief
Oh, January

The snow did fall
Down in sheets
We said goodbye
I could not sleep
The coldest tears
My eyes did freeze
There are no waves
On frozen seas, no
There must be
A name for this
Our first fresh air
Our final kiss
Across the sea
Our love did split
Ignorance
They say is bliss
You don't know
What I have felt
We played the cards
That we were dealt
We'll take some time
And know ourselves
And with time
The snow will melt
