reflections

It doesn't matter how bad I might want to say this
If you don't play this or add it to your playlist
I will never be famous enough
To make any meaningful changes
We will just stay strangers in this world full of hatred and anger
So give me your ears and I will give you my eyes
I'll hear you if you see the path and take it one step at a time
If you give me your heart then I will give you my mind
I'll love you if you learn that loving means you have to go blind

Afraid of losing you
Afraid of the fall
Afraid of the doctor's voice on the other end of the call
Afraid of patients at the end of the hall
Afraid of feeling something then going numb and losing it all

I need your innocence
I need your resolve
I need these images seared into the back of my skull
I need you to be patient with me when back to the bottle I crawl
I need your kindness in this matter if any chance for it to resolve

I fall away, away
I fall away, today
Wanna stay with you
Everyday with you
Wanna hold you in my arms
And help you see it through

Listen carefully
You have been there for me
When I was at my lowest and all I wanted to do was leave
I took all those pills and tried to go to sleep
But you dragged me to the hospital when I could barely breath
You cried hard that night
At least you didn't grieve
Cause I made it to the next day
I didn't die in my sleep

Now it's my turn
I'm here to return the favor
Got a frantic phone call from the next door neighbor
He's not breathing
I'm seeing foam from his mouth seeping
Don't die on me motherfucker
Better keep that heart beating
But you left me alone
Left without a reason
I should have died that night, but I lived
And now I know the feelin

I fall away, away
I fall away, today
Wanna stay with you
Everyday with you
Wanna hold you in my arms
And help you see it through
