The Light The Glass Lyrics

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 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 life

but you had better things to do...liar



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



pray for us all...my dearest apollo I'll be burning star 4
