The Time You Died (I Died With You)

The longer we wait the colder the warm water will get
They say where there is heat is life but you saw as a threat
Your hands were always cold like ice cubes and uncertainty
You dyed the water with blood to see it warm up

That time you died at that motel praying to God
Hoping he'd realize this is the farthest you'll get
He closed the doors on you, returned your whole facade
And it grew so attached you couldn't get it off

(It's you
Okay)

(The blade shone brighter)

The blade shone brighter than your mind
Beautiful eyes, boy
Can't look at the light
At the sun

I should let you go
But I can't alone
A small bedside lamp
Playing by the sun

I won't take away
The choices you've stole
Same as you can't fix
The damage you've done

I know you've heard too many times
Everything's gonna be alright
And I can't help but I can try it
If you let me try to make sense

I only see you
But it's not you
That's a shell

That time you died at your bathtub and changed your mind
You've been to hell alive fearing there was afterlife

A terrible thought
To never rest up
Seeing all the aftermath
Of every mark on your skin
