Brand New Guernica Lyrics

Guernica Lyrics

Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won. Worry and wake the
ones you love. A phone call I'd rather not receive. Please use my body while I
sleep. My lungs are fresh and yours to keep, Kept clean and they will let you
breathe. Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch
you always wear but you forget to wind. Nobody plans to be half a world away at
times like these, so I sat alone and waited out the night. The best part of
what has happened was the part I must have missed. So I'm asking you to shine
it on and stick around. I'm not writing my goodbyes. I submit no excuse. If
this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake. If I could I would shrink
myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells and remove whatever makes
you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure. Is this the way a toy feels when
its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these, so I sat alone
and
waited out the night. The best part of what has happened was the part I must
have missed. So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around. I'm not writing
my goodbyes. I'm not letting you check out. You will beat this starting now and
you will always be around. I'm there to monitor your breathing I will watch you
while you're sleeping. I will keep you safe and sound. Does anybody remember
back when you were very young. Did you ever think that you would be this
blessed?
