father doesn't smoke but he's still all black inside mother's words still burn her throat, alcohol and pesticide i slept beside a boy with terror in his eyes i tried to calm his demons but he burned me to get high
i hope my blood's still on his sheets i hope my voice still haunts his dreams i'm holding out for medicine to hold me while i sleep love songs make me sick and i write them all the time holding candles to my skin to fuel the storm inside tidal waves to drown me, hurricanes to make me blind
baby, make it easy i've come this far for you
when i ran, i tried to run to you but when you lied when you said you'd always tell the truth and you killed yourself to win the race but the finish line has turned to smoke and we all got ahead
baby, make it easy we don't want to cry for you
father doesn't smoke but he's still all black inside mother's words still burn her throat, alcohol and pesticide
and if i miss you all my life, i'll carry your flag and the sun will rise baby, make it easy i'm not gonna die for you
and if you find peace at the bottom of the sea, we'll sleep each night by the shore so you feel less alone baby, make it easy no one's gonna die for you
