I wanna fall inside your ghost

And fill up every hole inside my mind

And I want everyone to know

That I am half a soul divided

|-/

Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away

Either way you're by my side until my dying days

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

I said, "Don't be afraid."

I said, "Don't be afraid. We're going home."

|-/

I wanna strip myself of breath

A breathless piece of death I've made for you

A mortal writing piece of song will help me carry on

But this you heard

|-/

Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away

Either way you're by my side until my dying days

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

I said, "Don't be afraid."

I said, "Don't be afraid. We're going home."

|-/

So the hearse ran out of gas

A passenger person grabbed a map

And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past

And checked his watch and grabbed a cab

A beautifully plain taxi cab

A cab, had it cleared out back and two men started to unpack

|-/

Driving once again

But now this time there were three men

And then I heard one of them say,

"I know the night will turn to grey

I know the stars will start to fade

When all the darkness fades away

We had to steal him from his fate

So he could see another day."

|-/

Then I cracked open my box

Someone must have picked the lock

A little light revealed the spot

Where my fingernails had fought

Then I pushed it open more

Pushing up against the door

Then I sat up off the floor

And found the breath I was searching for

|-/

Then there were three men up front

All I saw were backs of heads

And then I asked, "Am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead?"

And then one turned around to say,

"We're driving toward the morning, son
Where all your blood is washed away
And all you did will be undone."

|-/

And I said, "Don't be afraid."

"Don't be afraid."
