I pray they take the both of us

Acting on my best behavior
Switching over every breaker

It's over the turnstiles and through the guardrails
And into Washington Square
Cause no amount of nightmares would ever compare
To the thought of only silence in this ghost filled air
Whistle baby, while we walk
Don't say anything, do not talk
The journey is over, it's too late to prepare
Why can't you see that, baby
We're already there
Here comes your silhouette
And more pillow talk
Here comes the ticking of these clocks
They say the quickest way to end a war is just to lose
Another chamber locks and I already withdrew
Here comes the booming and the hunger of each night
Here comes the burden of might
This day was not divinely made to leave you impressed
We may become someone someday, but we haven't yet
Whistle baby, while we walk
Don't say anything, do not talk
The journey is over, it's time to repair
Whatever we were building
We're already there

God bless the void of my daydreams
Head back in the snow making angel wings
As slow motion dancing lights at dawn
Sail beneath a burning yellow sun
I'm calling out from the deep ends of my bones
Time says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so
Still waters rising in my mind
Black and deep, smoke behind my eyes
Last night I could not sleep at all
I hallucinated that you were in my arms
To be in your heart I failed my own
Love says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so
(acoustic guitar solo, maybe someday i'll attempt it. Theres a lot
of double stops and it eases into a pentatonic i think)
Still here reclimbing every rung
Someone saw something
Someone speak up
Back over the rotted bridge I cross
Open up these graves, let these bodies talk
Buried under leaves blood red and gold
Death says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so

Comes a cold dark feeling
SI7
There is nothing but dust
MIm
In the layers I'm peeling
From the bottom of my heart
Beats a rattling drum
Coming up from the depths
Into the rays of the sun
Now under crushing skies of grays
Paralyzed with phantom pains
Before this room became just a place
Where I just sleep through endless days
Spinning webs and carving names
Where thoughts break up, exploding in space
But I once crossed a quarter mile
Through black pools of razor wires
And cut through steel with the edge of a file
While singing rhapsodies in stride
Hell-bent and dignified
Now my time has come, "now who you fooling and why?"
From the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark feeling
There is eminent death
To the promise I'm keeping
From the bottom of my heart
Comes an army of one
Marching back up the steps
Into the rays of the sun
Pale-faced and hollowed eyes
Buried under ruptured skies
Not every smile means I'm laughing inside
Two-faced and compromised
I've enraptured you with lies
Everything means nothing and tonight everything is mine
From the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark feeling
I have buried so much
In the layers I'm peeling
From the bottom of my heart
A battle will come
Coming up from the depths
Into the rays of the sun
From the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark feeling
Wrapped around tight
With no sign of leaving
From the bottom of my heart
A ballad is sung
Through a whisper she comes
Into the rays of the sun

Goes my nearly beloved and I
Blazing two parallel white lines
Through this broken heart spilt open wide

But it's mostly far behind
I was the apple of your eye
Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there
Stuck with knives
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
Not one of them survived
