Things would be better with better funds; retirement plans
And if you get sick of my world turn back, I've got my own fans
Lived on the rust of this razors edge, and fell to the floor
'Cause I'm so tired of my circus act, just numb to the core
And even when I called you up to tell you all my fears
Jumped the gun and hit the deck the way they do around here
You were gone away
Suicide threats get you what you want most of the time
You kept on trying till people stopped and then you were fine
Antidepressants and alcohol would sing you to sleep
Things would get better 'till you woke up and told me to leave
And even when I called you up to tell you all my fears
Jumped the gun and hit the deck the way they do around here
You were gone away
So hold on and let it swing
The open door is glistening
It's been this way for 30 years
Let it shut, I'm fine right here

I can remember when we never were apart
Smoking like chimneys, staying up late to talk in the dark
And I hope that you understand I didn't want this time to end
But it's time to be honest, friend
'Cause all of you needles have taken their toll
If you can't be human I want you to know
Every bullet I took from you I'm letting go
Do you feel empty now, do you feel blue
'Cause I feel so bad right now, but I felt worse with you
And I've played out the final scene and I see it in every dream
And I stare at the TV screen
'Cause this disappointment has taken it's toll
If I can't be stable I need you to know
Every bullet I took for you went through my soul

I came this far to follow you down to the floor
I knew you'd find me lying outside of your door
I hang on this cross and maybe I'm lost
But running my way back to you
Till daylight is lost I'll hang on my cross
Still making my way back to you
Scars keep forming that blacken my chances with her
Stars keep shinning, reminding, defining the cure

You never know how it could go
You never told anyone how you feel
So the candle burns and you never learn how to reveal
You let it out, can't figure it out
You weren't the type to write letters and leave
But nobody talks about it, 'cause we don't have a clue
We just try to dance around it, but never through
Over and done, had a good run
When you were drinking you had the most fun
But you still don't know all the tears that fell
At the heart of it all, we all wanted you well
But nobody talks about it, 'cause we don't have a clue
We just try to dance around it, but never through

He's been waiting to carry you home
He's been waiting to get you alone
He's been making ten thousand a year
He's been trying to upgrade to peer
He's a poor man by all accounts
He's been working to sort this all out
He's got rights but no right to love
Has no faith but needs help from above
Unstain the glass so we can see
Claiming the words unpromised to me that came to pass
Everyone prays to the holy man till he gets old and expires
Watch him on TV to catch a glimpse and hope that the next one's less tired
We've been watching, you've got some nice songs
We could sell them if you'll play along
Be like that one, he was unique
You could be him cause he's six feet deep
She's a sad girl without a doubt
Medication was the way out
There's a stairway that takes you right there
And a dirt road that leads God knows where
Follow your dreams, they say that it's best
To follow your heart to cardiac arrest
And I'm for the One who created us all
And I'm for the seekers of truth
And I'm with the mourners of martyred men
Who were the break in the bend

the ride

She took him to the movies, he was an obstinate man
His only plus was money, it arranged a marital plan
They go to bed so early, and she sleeps most days away
And he stays out late on the weekends and their vices are pills and champagne
And all of her ducks have been sitting so patiently in a row
And though she was prodded she dug in her heels to the status quo
It's easy to get stuck in and it thrives on adamance
So you have no drive to deny it, at best a half of a chance
And all your bad memories called up just to tell you you're better off
And when you were flying you stopped short of dying just like a moth
Like a husk inside a flame, what's the point in having names
When everyone everywhere comes all aboard for the easy ride
And almost nobodies left walking the road to the other side

We're half way to the bottom, there's been no word since the top
And we're climbing down so carelessly, I'm not sure we can stop
They say love is what you fall in and no one climbs back out
A shame I couldn't help myself and hold on to my doubts
There's no peace in my head, ashamed of what's instead
But I can't make myself feel right again
So I'll lay here where I landed in this empty bed I've made
I've got no broken bones to speak of but these scars don't fade
And I'm alright but she's awesome, so I hear from time to time
Thought I've seen a million mountains, I'm too sore to start the climb
There's no peace in my head, ashamed of what's instead
But I can't make myself feel right again
So you lay back down, cause you don't come back from this
