Just to Meet You at My Headstone Lyrics

It comes in waves

But I haven't swam in years

My signals always fall on deaf ears

If I went blind each frame would project in the dark

I just want to forget before I fall apart

So I keep searching

Maybe I'm just wasting time

No escape in sight

I tell myself I'll be alright

But I've been a liar all my life

I can't be saved

I'm paper thin

Just like the skin that adorns my bones

As I look in the mirror

I can't recognize what's looking back at me

I'm no savior

With these broken wings

I'm not braver

When I'm coming apart at the seams

Maybe I will die from the same disease

That brought my grandfather to his knees

Finally have my mind erased of everything

Til I can't remember how to speak

Maybe it'll be the smoke that lines my lungs

Or the liquor that I put in my blood

They'll find me passed out in the gutter

A shell of what I used to be

Of what I used to be

Of what I used to be

I'm paper thin

Just like the skin that adorns my bones

As I look in the mirror

I can't recognize what's looking back at me

I'm no savior

With these broken wings

I'm not braver

When I'm coming apart at the seams

Gather your candles to say goodbye

Light the lanterns it'll be alright

Gather your candles to say goodbye

Light the lanterns it'll be alright

Gather your candles to say goodbye

Light the lanterns it'll be alright
