If you’ve been painting a picture With the lights outside your window But the oils still run And time moves all but slow If you’ve been aching for an exodus That final burden’s escape Then shut those cutting blinds And untie the drapes Oh, follow me home Oh, follow me home Taking steps between the days Penning letters to those that died Time and again, fold up your works Accept your fate in stride And know we all possess fear Of what lies out of sight Just don’t forget that there’s A tunnel at the end of the light Oh, follow me home Oh, follow me home Dear light outside Share this song with me Say hello on the brighter side

Sinewed heartstrings Firm on the handle Of an axe that longs to swallow What surrounds this vacant panel Can you feel the pane of broken glass Can you see through the years Of age and weather and cast away stones that pierce my darkest fears And you say it’s not ok Life sweeps you up and you can’t stay Once all your friends are gone Are you supposed to stay away In the morning light Feeling overshadows reason Eclipsing my state of mind The sun split in two By the window frame All we love we leave behind Peering out this aching structure Perched atop my clay throne With the smoke from my breaths Exits everything i’ve known There has to be a method A way to fracture wounds When you’re breaking the broken Won't the shards fall back in tune And you say it’s not ok Life sweeps you up and you can’t stay Once all your friends are gone Are you supposed to stay away In the fading light Feeling overshadows reason Eclipsing my state of mind Setting sun won’t return The heavens bathed in flame All we love we leave behind i want to see the window shatter i want that peace of mind See that window shatter? i want that peace of mind.

Grin 04:34
i could wonder through the darkness Rewrite every law I’ve penned But it won’t bring you closer Our erase our untimely end You’ve beauty So brutal i sensed it in your smile Keep showing Your grin It’s all i Can recall now We breathed secrets, truths Solemn swears of trust But the churning framework of my heart Met with blood Succumbed to rust The suffocating taste of bourbon on my lips The deep set of winter etched into my bones Like cold heavy breaths, the chill of dead nights You linger on me, yet i feel so alone But if there’s any meaning left in this forgotten alphabet It dissipates in time with the smoke that leaves your lips So crawl under my skin, sleep here for the season These tremors rack my body while I try to forget that Nervous glances echo silence, no intentions of tomorrow And there’s a skip on the record at the mention of your name Although i am alone and without a god to pray to The most beautiful must come from pain

If you’ve felt a blood rush cleanse Tell me how heartbreak mends Cause the hinges on my window Are thrust open again Each day is the same These chords i've got to claim i set fire to the house But my diary's in the flame i’m clutching these chords Hoping they reach you Is your love measured by measures Is it over when the song is through Blood pulses to a different beat i’m haunted with proof But in staring at this sooted wreckage And the antiques of my youth i still play for you i’m clutching these chords Hoping they reach you Is your love measured by measures Is it over when the song is through This place was a mentor It’s turned into gold You’ve turned into gold
