She said come and fly away
With me tonight
Come and fly away
With me
Come and fly away
With me tonight
She said ah ah ah…

I've been up there before
Riding the wind and
Laughing and open
_{But now I am afraid of flying.}

I want to stay here;
In your arms.

I'm in so deep,
You know I'm such a fool for you;
You got me wrapped around your finger.

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?

I want to click my heels and wish for two years ago. I wouldn't screw up the second time.

Blocking people after they shoot you down for having pathetic pick up lines and generally causing mouth vomit makes you cool.

I'm gonna have to start doing that.

You said that I'm afraid to die
With a pitchfork ready and a man who sits up high
And I can hear the fire
I'm a dead dog sinner and a man too scared to try
And you're too close to call
I would sell my money for the chance to hear you talk

And oh no, I tried
I tried

What if you could see my skin?
Would you burn me moving?
Would you make a match out my head?
What if you could touch my hand?
Feel the deep sweat sweating from a guilty, guilty man
What if you could see my heart?
Would you say oh brother, that's the reason we still fall
And the reason that we still don't start?

And oh no, I tried
I tried

And oh no, I tried

I tried

When the dark flood came
we wrapped ourselves inside a dirty blanket
citing different opinions
on whether we should move

when the houses came
they ate up everyone like they were fishes
saying,
"come on, come on it's the end of the world"

and then I saw your face
you're turning skin into a dirty secret
I watched the beauties, watched the fire
and the fire burn the beauty in their eyes

when I took the blame
we layed in ruins trying to quote your phrase
we're yelling, "someone's got the answers,
but I'd rather think there's nothing to be found"

if you knew I was dying would it change you?

So when you see me falling backwards down the wall that says I'm still alive,
don't be cautious when I'm cautiously approaching on the other side
everybody has their reasons, that's the reason we're all going to die

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

when I fly solo, I fly so high
don't touch me now.

We all deserve something

Why'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
Don't you know about the temperature change
In the cold black shadow?
Are you mad at your walls
Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you?
Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale grey garden?
If the ship will never come you've got to move along

Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder
The waves of black
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
He's a rat!

To catch a monster
We make a movie
Set the tempo
And cut and cut its brains out
It will inspire on the burning pyre
Half the distance
Half the motion
Communication
It's easy as the ocean

If you want to see and be seen, then be seen. Your dress is dark red and your opening eyes are bright green. Make a scene, but don’t lie on the bed, laid out like you’re dead, because honey, you’re murdering me.

Be a little sheep learning who’ll shear and who’ll feed. The hands come and they leave. Be hands holding a knife. Be a being on two feet, with his heart trembling, butchering for a king he believes in though he’s never seen. Be the princess in that stone tower, crying for that handsome butcher’s plight (and, as some princess might, she still calls him a knight.) But the best thing for you would be queen, so be queen.

You’re all that I need. Though I know that it never can be, I’d be pleased to post your decrees, to fall at your knees, to name all your streets and to sit down and weep when you’re carried back through them and set down to sleep, and to lie by your side for sublime centuries (until we crumble to dust when we’re crushed by a single sun)

Then drops them from the ceiling,

If I'm the one you care about most,
_{I'd hate to see how you treat everyone else.}

...except when it comes to ^pirates, because they're just badass.

You're so pathetic,
Give it a rest.
You're not going to win,
You're never gonna.
