I will run the streets and hostile lands
I will touch the rain, with all I have
I will breathe the air, to scream it loud
My feet will never touch the ground
Because the days, they feel like ancient clocks
Like when kids grow up and learn to walk
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired with

Lights, and sounds, oh god this is such a mess
and it’s like, our world, but we’re the last ones left
And the hair, it stands, on the back of our necks
And I swear, it shows, heaven must be just like this

Do you see the hills beneath the clouds,
With stars as trails, to lead you out?
Can you sense the pain, that’s everywhere?
And if you try you’ll never care
And the love you had when you were young
Its right outside, for all to come
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired with

Lights, and sounds, oh god this is such a mess
And it’s like, our world, but we’re the last ones left
And the hair, it stands, on the back of our necks
And I swear, it shows, heaven must be just like this

If you see the light break through the clouds
and fire up the distant towers
where the world will begin exactly how it ends
when you call for help when you are lost
forever more at whatever cost
and the world will begin exactly how it ends

Please stay, don’t go.
I got you now.
Are you curious?

Here I am

DO IT FOR ME NOW

by Angels and Airwaves

I’m frightened at night and the wind has a roar
It seeps through the hall and from under the door
Like the shit that was said
I can’t take it that well
I give and I give and I give and I give and I’m still
Lost and hurt and bone thin from the love that’s been starved
I know it got close but I’m sure it’s too far
From the point of suspense, that we know it should be
The end of that part of our favorite movie
When the guy grabs the girl and gives her his hand
Says take me away from this torturous land
Cause the grave is set up, the hole that I dug
I gave and I gave and I gave and I gave you my trust
Like the time that we kissed and you gave me a lie
To add to the scene you pretended to cry
But I’m here and I’m cool, the way that it is
Just give me a chance and I’ll try to forgive

And I don’t know
And I can’t guess
If it’s gonna be OK
But now my last wish
Is that you do this with me
Kiss me here and hold my hand
Let me feel like I’m the only one
I know you can
Won’t you do it for me now

I’ve really had it with the rain of the tears
The predictable storm that has come every year
And it sneaks in from shore with a bat in its hand
I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying I can’t
You’re a thief and a witch but I love you to death
You steal my heart and curse under your breath
But the one thing that I can most willingly prove
That when you are gone I’ll be fine without you

And I don’t know
And I can’t guess
If it’s gonna be OK
But now my last wish
Is that you do this with me
Kiss me here and hold my hand
Let me feel like I’m the only one
I know you can
Won’t you do it for me now?

Now just hold on, hold on to me
Hold on, hold on to me, hold on to me.

LETTERS TO GOD, PART II

All the phones have rung and rung

They’re off the hook, all but one

And all the mail stacked up inside

Up from the floor, a mile high

And like one would, like a child

I am asking

Like I could knock on your door

Will you let me in?

And dear God,

I found out the same things we learn when we die

I found out the truth is its all a big lie

I find that the words are hard to describe

I tell you I’m lost here, awaiting reply

Climbing trees and paper planes

Life as a kid, we’re all the same

Tears of joy, and sullen hearts

Sticks and stones and broken arms

And like one would, like a child

I am asking

Like I could knock on your door

Will you let me in?

And dear God,

I found out the same things we learn when we die

I found out the truth is its all a big lie

I find that the words are hard to describe

I tell you I’m lost here, awaiting reply

I found out what’s wrong, and its not you or I

Or anyone else that you chose to deny

It seems like the madness of choice in the lie

Has made it rnunclear if we run or we hide
