|[Verse 1]
I wanna fall inside your ghost
And fill up every hole inside my mind
And I want everyone to know
That I am half a soul divided
[Chorus]
Sometimes, we will die
And sometimes, we will fly away
Either way, you're by my side
Until my dyin' days
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
I said, "Don't be afraid"
I said, "Don't be afraid
We're goin' home"
[Verse 2]
I wanna strip myself of breath
A breathless piece of death I've made for you
A mortal rotting piece of song
Will help me carry on, but at least you heard
[Chorus]
Oh, sometimes, we will die
And sometimes, we will fly away
Either way, you're by my side
Until my dyin' days
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
I said, "Don't be afraid"
I said, "Don't be afraid
We're goin' home"

So the hearse ran out of gas
The passenger person grabbed a map
And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past
And checked his watch and grabbed a cab
A beautifully planned taxi cab
A cab, had a cleared out back
And two men started to unpack
Driving once again, but now this time, there were three men
And then I heard one of them say
"I know the night will turn to gray
I know the stars will start to fade
When all the darkness fades away
We had to steal him from his fate
So he could see another day"
And then I cracked open my box
Someone must have picked the lock
A little light revealed the spot where my fingernails had fought
Then I pushed it open more, pushing up against the door
Then I sat up off the floor
And found the breath I was searchin' for
Then there were three men up front
All I saw were backs of heads
And then I asked, "Am I alive and well
Or am I dreaming dead?"
Then one turned around to say
"We're driving toward the morning, son
Where all your blood is washed away
And all you did will be undone"

I said, "Don't be afraid"
I said, "Don't be afraid"
Oh, oh

Lyrics

Album version
[Verse 1]

I wanna fall inside your ghost

And fill up every hole inside my mind

And I want everyone to know

That I am half a soul divided


[Chorus]

Sometimes, we will die

And sometimes, we will fly away

Either way, you're by my side

Until my dyin' days

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

I said, "Don't be afraid"

I said, "Don't be afraid

We're goin' home"


[Verse 2]

I wanna strip myself of breath

A breathless piece of death I've made for you

A mortal rotting piece of song

Will help me carry on, but at least you heard


[Chorus]

Oh, sometimes, we will die

And sometimes, we will fly away

Either way, you're by my side

Until my dyin' days

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

I said, "Don't be afraid"

I said, "Don't be afraid

We're goin' home"


[Bridge]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Okay...

So the hearse ran out of gas

The passenger person grabbed a map

And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past

And checked his watch and grabbed a cab

A beautifully planned taxi cab

A cab, had a cleared out back

And two men started to unpack

Driving once again, but now this time, there were three men

And then I heard one of them say

"I know the night will turn to gray

I know the stars will start to fade

When all the darkness fades away

We had to steal him from his fate

So he could see another day"

And then I cracked open my box

Someone must have picked the lock

A little light revealed the spot where my fingernails had fought

Then I pushed it open more, pushing up against the door

Then I sat up off the floor

And found the breath I was searchin' for

Then there were three men up front

All I saw were backs of heads

And then I asked, "Am I alive and well

Or am I dreaming dead?"

Then one turned around to say

"We're driving toward the morning, son

Where all your blood is washed away

And all you did will be undone"


[Outro]

I said, "Don't be afraid"

I said, "Don't be afraid"

Oh, oh
