lyrics

I see you've taken me out of your Top 8.
This is such a beautiful way to communicate.
"Weren't you supposed to be someplace by now?"
I am laughing, but I don't know how.

The cops and the doctors
And the coroner took all my friends away.
But all my birds fit in a locket
That I put inside my pocket everyday.
And all the tears on your cheek
Mean you are strong and I am weak
But in a week or two or three, I mean tomorrow
It'll be okay.

Clutching to a bike wheel, I have not moved my hands!
Look around you, how can this be real?
You have not moved your hands!
I didn't plant that tree! I never saw the seeds!
I only poured the sand upon your perfect feet!

I am so tired of running away at sunset
And crashing into a sunny day.
I am so fascinated by the burning down of every town
Where I decide to stay.
The church and the mongrels
And the seagulls carry all the dead away
And in my heart I know what I have done
But what would I say?

I'm sorry? Or thank you?
Bless me Father, for I have sinned real bad this time?
I prayed for all my meals
And the Lord taught me how to kneel
But I just don't know
If they're gonna let me out of this town alive!

My Father taught me how to live
Before He taught me how to pray.
My Father moved my hands
When He told me to go outside and play
And I came back dirtied by the ground.

Forgive me! Forgive me! I want to live!
I'll miss you! I'll miss you more than I can say!
Eating your ice cream on a lazy day!
I want to see you again,
Even if it's only on MySpace!
Forgive me! Forgive me! I want to live!!!
