If the Accident Will

I hope you understand this is me

This is everything that I am

I could apologize forever

but it wouldn't change a thing

All of my transgressions, and all of my mistakes

Bury me underground

Every picture that I hang is more fragile than the last

I'm keeping company with the glass that shatters

The things that I hold dear to me tend to evaporate

Watch everything disappear

Erase the time that I've been searching

and subtract from me whatever I have left

I'm still standing, but not as tall

Rain on me, black cloud

Envelope me in forever

I've become unstuck in time

Between now and death

Everything is certain

So sing me to sleep

Fill your fingertips with ink and kill me with your words

Bring me back to life in the same breath.

So fragile are the hours, are the minutes, I have left with you

and I remain silent until the very last one

I wish I could find a way to thank everyone

for everything they've done for me.

I promise I am doing my best to make it through this

We're no longer reading left to right

And we burned up all the pages anyway

The truth seems to enslave us

How strange it is to even exist

And be something of consequence

It's not a matter of where but when

Cast your shadow on me

You're only gonna get what you asked for

And while I'm drifting away

Cast your shadow on me

You're only gonna get what you asked for

And while I'm drifting away

You're gonna carry that weight.

It's lights out (Please don't leave me alone)

I'm not saying goodbye.

I'm just resting my eyes for a little while

(You're only gonna get what you asked for)

I'm not falling asleep.

I'm just trying to breathe (And while I'm drifting away)

So please forgive me
