Just to Meet You at My Headstone
It comes in waves
But I haven't swam in years
My signals always fall on deaf ears
If I went blind each frame would project in the dark
I just want to forget before I fall apart
So I keep searching
Maybe I'm just wasting time
No escape in sight
I tell myself I'll be alright
But I've been a liar all my life
I can't be saved
I'm paper thin
Just like the skin that adorns my bones
As I look in the mirror
I can't recognize what's looking back at me
I'm no savior
With these broken wings
I'm not braver
When I'm coming apart at the seams
Maybe I will die from the same disease
That brought my grandfather to his knees
Finally have my mind erased of everything
Til I can't remember how to speak
Maybe it'll be the smoke that lines my lungs
Or the liquor that I put in my blood
They'll find me passed out in the gutter
A shell of what I used to be
Of what I used to be
Of what I used to be
I'm paper thin
Just like the skin that adorns my bones
As I look in the mirror
I can't recognize what's looking back at me
I'm no savior
With these broken wings
I'm not braver
When I'm coming apart at the seams
Gather your candles to say goodbye
Light the lanterns it'll be alright
Gather your candles to say goodbye
Light the lanterns it'll be alright
Gather your candles to say goodbye
Light the lanterns it'll be alright
But I haven't swam in years
My signals always fall on deaf ears
If I went blind each frame would project in the dark
I just want to forget before I fall apart
So I keep searching
Maybe I'm just wasting time
No escape in sight
I tell myself I'll be alright
But I've been a liar all my life
I can't be saved
I'm paper thin
Just like the skin that adorns my bones
As I look in the mirror
I can't recognize what's looking back at me
I'm no savior
With these broken wings
I'm not braver
When I'm coming apart at the seams
Maybe I will die from the same disease
That brought my grandfather to his knees
Finally have my mind erased of everything
Til I can't remember how to speak
Maybe it'll be the smoke that lines my lungs
Or the liquor that I put in my blood
They'll find me passed out in the gutter
A shell of what I used to be
Of what I used to be
Of what I used to be
I'm paper thin
Just like the skin that adorns my bones
As I look in the mirror
I can't recognize what's looking back at me
I'm no savior
With these broken wings
I'm not braver
When I'm coming apart at the seams
Gather your candles to say goodbye
Light the lanterns it'll be alright
Gather your candles to say goodbye
Light the lanterns it'll be alright
Gather your candles to say goodbye
Light the lanterns it'll be alright
