|[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 | |||
|} | |||
