Reed Rd

Lyrics

You were born in a hospital bed You will return to the hospital bed, my friend Life's a beast that shits and eats from the same end You won't remember the trials, nor the tenderness We'll become your succession of breath Not if I can help it Oh, not if I can help it I love you more than The memories you're losing Get the keys, we're gonna go for a ride Take the road that you stumbled upon one night Coming home through the back woods, you lie And where the dark gives away to approaching lights You see the years like a film strip go by There's the house you were raised in There's the yard that you played The school that taught you to talk When you had nothing to say There's your friends and your lovers And there's the people you hate All holding hands with each other Like some demonic parade There's your mother and father And there's your brother and Paige The sky is falling around them And there's no sound when you say "I thought that I could save you I thought that I could save you Turns out that giving up is the only thing I would ever do" In the time it takes to go back to Salem In the time it takes to see where you're from You turn the light on all the lies you told and tame them Then you'll see what you have done I saw a fire in the forest Six billion moths flying toward it If you want something you will pay for it, you will pay for it But I got out of my corner Following the swarm from the dark out into the hot light If you want something, you raise the price The moths are all gonna die now Impale themselves on the things that they like, now I couldn't watch so I burned my own eyes out I walked away from the fire I found myself in the orchard I came to take up your offer To no longer be tortured
