Farewell Before I Wake
Out in the starless Darkness,
The city swallowed itself,
Traffic signals switched from green to red,
I searched your body for evidence under a dogwood canopy,
Your hand in mine, frozen in time,
Who would have guessed life as we knew was ending?
So don't cry, we'll be alright, once i get you cleaned up babe, we'll run away.
But if you die before i wake, have my heart, it's yours to take,
A sacrifice for our sake... I'd give my life for you any day,
When daylight drew the sickness, I brushed the bangs from your face,
While watching your eyes turn from green to red,
Back in our old apartment, collecting dust on a shelf,
The memories of you and me incinerate from under fervid timber,
So don't cry we'll be alright, once i get you picked up babe, we'll run away,
But if you die before i wake, have my heart, it's yours to take,
A sacrifice for our sake... I'd give my life for you any day,
Love of mine, call out if it eats you from the inside,
Out of time, but be sure I'll be all yours on the other side,
Sometimes it's harder to stay alive,
But if you die before i wake, have my heart, it's yours to take,
A sacrifice for our sake... I'd give my life for you any day,
But if you die before i wake, have my heart, it's yours to take,
A sacrifice for our sake... I'd give my life for you any day
