Girl, perfectly her, broken and hurt Soft and asleep in the morning gray Shake off the night and don't hide your face The sun lights the world with a single flame I want you to see this I want you to see this Today and all of your days, I'll wear your pain Heal what I can in your troubled mind Sometimes our bodies will hurt for some time And the beauty in that can be hard to find I want you to find it I want you to see this So run, wake up and run my little one I wanna tear down these walls that can't hold you inside And rip out the cords and uncover your eyes We'll make our escape in the dark of night I need you to see this Girl You'll see the world and you'll come to learn That falling in love is a strange work of art All of your battles will shape who you are And know that your scars are my favorite part I want you to know this

Come now child the day is long Hide not yourself from me Angels sing the final song Silence will turn to sleep Take heed my son The darkness will come Blackholes will bend the proudest ones And change up your symmetry Just as the night swallows the sun I know you'll come for me Take heed my son The darkness will come Take heed my son The darkness will come Rest now, my child, the day is done The dark comes for everything Inside the heart of everyone There lives infinity

Some ancient call That I've answered before It lives in my walls And it's under the floor If this was meant for me, why does it hurt so much? And if you're not made for me, why did we fall in love? A knock at my door I thought I was alone Unaware of what I've thought I needed I dropped like a stone If I'm not mistaken, then I was the last to know And if you return for me, I'd never want for more You're dislocated Don't be like that And you smile when you dive in Like you're never coming back So hold my body Yeah, hold my breath See your face when I black out I'm never coming back Fear of the water Fear of the water You're dislocated Don't be like that And you smile when you dive in Like you're never coming back So hold my body Yeah, hold my breath See your face when I black out I'm never coming back You're dislocated Don't be like that And you smile when you dive in Like you're never coming, never coming back So hold my body Yeah, hold my breath See your face when I black out I'm never coming back Fear of the water Fear of the water

This is my hello This is my clumsy goodbye I'm putting my glass down I wanna remember tonight The silence felt justified Learning your colors The different shades of your eye Give me your worst thought You turn away with a sigh You said you felt patronized In one unending moment You fall within my reach I'm close enough to whisper Hold on to me Hold on to me These are my burdens This is that dark I embrace Tell me I'm heavy As you trace the lines on my face They came with my fall from grace Look at these two hands Look at these cracks and the holes I am my savior I found my truth letting go I've never felt so alone In one unending moment I fall within your reach My song, a sweet surrender Hold on to me Hold on to me Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh In one unending moment We fall into the sea Recall the words I gave to you Hold on to me Hold on to me Hold on Ooh-ooh-ooh I found my truth, letting go I found my truth, recall the words I gave to you Hold on to me Hold on to me Oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh

Never have I seen a place That reminds me of your face 'Til I heard it call to me Like a phone call from a friend Set in silence like a prayer If these walls could breathe the air They would sing a song of love And how it sometimes has to end Welcome home Your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear If you don't see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home You are home No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home Letters written in the den Folded news and coffee cans Simple things that I recall Not forgotten easily Dog is passed out on the lawn He will miss me when I'm gone He won't speak what he has seen Like the walls surrounding me Welcome home Your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear If you don't see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home You are home No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home Welcome home Your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear If you don't see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home You are home No nothing tastes like sweet Nothing tastes like sweet No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home

She broke today A perfect little heart in my hand She came undone I hesitate I'm waiting on my father to say I love you son It's coming in phases And I'm ready for none I knew it would change me But I'm overcome My father's son Me and my heavy mind I've been given far too much time And it weighs a ton My cover fire Come lay down right here on my chest My little one Before I'm done It's coming in phases And I'm ready for none I knew it would change me The man I become So I try to relate it To where I came from But it's coming in phases And I'm overcome My father's son My empty page I will give you more than my name I love you, son It's coming in phases And I'm ready for none I knew it would change me The man I become So I try to relate it To where I came from But it's coming in phases And I'm overcome My father's son My father's son

Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand Don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand But don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Don't you ever leave me alone Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy

Footsteps without a sound I'm coming home to you Snowfall blankets the ground It covers the ugly truth Things that we hide from view I get tired around this time I blame it on the cold daylight Bring your arms around me fast Warm my bones and fill my glass God, I hope this year's better than The last A candle burns in a choir Held with a righteous hand And I'm reminded... of a silent night All for a broken man One I don't understand I get tired around this time But I will try to make things right Bring your arms around me fast Warm my bones and fill my glass God, I hope we'll be better than The past I wake up around this time Your sweet face will fill my eyes Wrap me up and hold me fast Carry on and don't look back God, I hope this year's better than The last
