The Light The Glass Lyrics

Slowly the pen touches paper in the guidance of the words that you write



memories roll in of the things you once did



and who you had shared them with, is somebody thinking of you



did I bother telling you this, with the words that cross teeth and jump lips



a poor choice of words in wanting to tell you anything



but words don't come with ease they're forever my hurt



would it really matter if you were to count the days left with your hands



your focus secure and the loves you left well



smiles staged in photographs here until...



you....you left the light on



theres a chance I might have tripped girl



you were there to hold on



ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother



kill or be killed spilled the words from your mother



I'll lay awake for a while



I'll leave the light on a while



you couldn't last a lifetime caught between here and the days of it



carving her name across your arm with every wish it's hit or miss her



I told you so 



I measure distance in lines departing the rest of my list



but you (you, you) had better things to do (X2)...liar



ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother



kill or be killed spilled the words from your mother



I'll lay awake for a while



I'll leave the light on a while



you couldn't last a lifetime caught between here and the days of it



carving her name across your arm with every wish it's hit or miss her



I told you so 



I measure distance in lines departing the rest of my life



if you get put to sleep, like an old dog you're better off if you get put to
sleep



I've been cautious with the words I extend



allow this year before the world starts to end



your father's dead he passed in his sleep



and I woke to the sounds of her crying (X3)



you're father's dead he passed in his sleep



pray for us all
