Lawrence Arms Chapter 13: The Hero Appears Lyrics

Chapter 13: The Hero Appears Lyrics

the well went dry

the blood thinned out

i scrapped through

a thousand layers

of paint-like years

the secret's in

conjested grins

i'm trying to find places to breathe now



and if this were a book

i'd call this song the final chapter

and if you read it

you'd be laughin'

if it could end right now

the last lines would be



my body jolted in

and out of stolen soundwaves

the world expands or shrinks

on any given monday

tuesday evening dyes a room blue

friday's window has it's own view



and if this were a book

i'd call this song the final chapter

and if you read it

you'd be laughin'

if it could end right now

the last lines would be



good friend

i loved you

one life to show her

the answers in your ear



she lights her streaming by on stiff necks

connected prayers used to sign off things

keep on counting them

maybe hold your breath

i'm trying to exhale you softly

don't be so vein

i'm not impressed in past-tense

i don't do impressions



the blood has dried

(good friend, i loved you)

now i can wash my hands with tears you cried

(one life to show her)

if you could frame this feeling

(good friend, i loved you)

at night it would whisper to me



good friend

i loved you

one life to show her

the answers in your ear

[2x]
