help this isn’t who i am i’m trapped inside the dying body skeleton of a man who shares my name and lives inside of me oh boy wait this isn’t what i ever wanted you to see no not in the least and i am running through wet sand but i can’t no i cannot understand what it is what the hell we’re doing here no i can’t no i can’t outrun my fears yesterday i watched you stare into my soul with your pair of ice blue eyes no surprise i watched you crawl into my chest you zipped me up like i was your disguise and i am running through wet sand but i can’t no i can’t understand what it is what the hell we’re doing here no i can’t no i can’t outrun my fears

if only i could travel to a world where time flows backwards from the start where tomorrow is yesterday and today the day before where questions are like answers but the truth is not to be found at all we will find this place when the time is near we will go away leave these lives here on earth we will find this place when the time is near we will go away leave these lives here on earth if only could be if only i could see in reverse if only i could try if only i could fly in reverse if only i could live if only i could give in reverse if only i could cry if only i could die in reverse i’d try

all my life i’ve been waiting watching the stars above waiting lonely waiting lonely for someone to love and i will hold you for a hundred million years and i will love you and wipe away the tears i will always be holding your hand even when it’s hard to understand hold me please don’t you leave me and promise to believe me when i say that you’re the only one that matters anyway and i will love you for a hundred million years and i will hold you and wipe away the tears i will always be holding you tight even when our love’s as dark as night the sun will rise and i will fall but you and i we’ve been through it all nothing could ever tear us apart you’ll always have a place in my heart it was her time to fly away is what they’d try to say but in truth it was her body that gave in the little lumps grew in her breast and traveled cross her chest to the stomach where they made themselves at home and the sparkle in her eye was gone and left so dried up like the well you used to draw the water from and the joy and happiness were gone and laid to rest with the pain she carried with her to her death you’re so close to me my love but so far away from me tonight i will hold hold you in my dreams like i wish you could be in my arms next to me forever i wish there was more to say but i couldn’t find the words to tell you when you were there next to me on the night that i fell for you i look at the stars above but all i see is you staring back at me through the window i wonder where you are but all i know is that you aren’t here next to me on my pillow i look at the stars above and all i see is you staring back at me through the window i wonder where you are but all i know is that you aren’t here next to me on my pillow you’re so close to me my love but so far away from me tonight i’m sorry for wasting all of our precious time time we’d been saving to spend it on something fine but now that it’s over and now that we’ve seen it through i just wish i’d told you the one thing i meant to do i would fly too high for you i will always cry for you if only i could say goodbye to you i’m sad that it’s over but hope that you’re free at last from all of your troubles and all of the pain that you faced in the past and some day i’ll see you somewhere so far away over the rainbow somewhere some other day i’m sorry for wasting all of our precious time time we’d been saving to spend it on something fine but now that it’s over and now that we’ve seen it through i just wish i’d told you the one thing i’d meant to do i would fly too high for you i will always cry for you if only i could say goodbye to you if only i could say goodbye

when my granddaddy came home from the hospital he was nothing but the ghost of a man and i prayed to a god that i never did believe in asking only for another day even if he tried to walk but never could again even if his bones were frail as glass even if he tried to speak but never could again just another day on earth is all i ask do you even need another soul to save let him live a little longer maybe just another day do you even need another life to save let him live another moment maybe just another day do you even need another soul to save let him live a little longer maybe just another day do you even need another life today let him live another moment maybe just another day on earth and how could it be that everyone i love has slipped away from me in the end and those that i had loved just ran away and left me drowning here it’s too deep for me to swim still be friends she said months ago keep in contact for a couple words silently we now agree we’re just a couple ghosts first you sweep me off my feet now you’re adding dust to the memories if you and i had never met then i would not be so upset that you are gone and i am not you’re somewhere lost in space but not forgot you’re somewhere lost in space but not forgot i never thought i’d see the day i watched my hero fall from grace just as the sidekick takes her place and blames the creep for her mistakes if you and i had never met then i would not be so upset that you are gone and i am not you’re somewhere lost in space but not forgot you’re somewhere lost in space but not forgot if you and i had never met then i would not be so upset that you are gone and i am not you’re somewhere lost in space but not forgot and how could it be that everyone i loved would slip away from me in the end and those that i have loved just ran away and left me here it’s too deep for me to swim

daddy was an ex-marine the next to careen out of control mommy was a scared young girl just trying to keep a hold on the man that she loved but then a dream he woke up from and he hit your mother and it all came undone you sat in the corner and watched and wept and hoped it was all in fun when you were seventeen it was another dream that awoke your father in a steam he walked across the floor through the old brown door til he opened up the drawer that he kept locked but not today he pulled a pistol from its midst and fired away at his fears your mother said she watched his face grow pale with years of tears and she wept as she swept the bits of floor he blew away that day and you still hear each word she whispered in your ear you hear her say run run away from this place if you care for yourself run away from this place if you care i’m running running running for my life you’re an immigrant in the world you spent your whole life living in incompetent in the city where you watched your father bore sin belligerent to yourself each night you think of what you could have done to save your mother from the hell she’s in the same hell you ran from but in the end it’s not your fault you tried to save her from the mess do you even need another life to save let him live a little longer maybe just another day if you and i had never met then i would not be so upset that you are gone you’re somewhere lost in space but not forgot but in the end it’s not your fault you tried you tried to save her
