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
