were you just being funny when you cut down my tree i was hanging my hat there on a bent knee were you just being clever there's so much i don't know i'll be tracing my outline in the sunshine i got hit with the handle when you split through my coat now i'm searching through empty pockets, they fill me up with your ghost i'll make a ladder i'll climb these words here take it higher oh have mercy were you just being funny when you put me to sleep i was staring the sky down deep in the dark leaves i'll make a ladder i'll climb these words here to take it higher oh have mercy if it matters i'll knock the dust off i'll clean my curses oh have mercy you make and break me a million pieces le'em shine, let 'em shine you push, you tear the walls down ruins in the starry skies you make and break me a million pieces let 'em shine, let 'em shine you push, you tear the walls down ruins under starry skies now we're disappearing strictly speaking the vague lines of ghosts you were talking bout heaven all i see is unknown through clouds surrendering reason the emptiness keeps us afloat you were talking bout heaven all i see is unknown
