Two Eight One - Hotel Books[00:00:00]
I was standing on the corner between main street and pine [00:00:19]
And I thought I saw your ghost but it was really just mine[00:00:22]
So let me crawl into your skin for a minute [00:00:25]
I promise I'll leave when I learn what love is[00:00:28]
I never mean't to be the problem [00:00:30]
But I also never thought I'd be your purpose[00:00:32]
Cause these night terrors can't find me[00:00:34]
When I refuse to fall asleep[00:00:36]
Cold breeze weakens my immune system[00:00:38]
As I continue to walk down the street[00:00:40]
And I saw a vision of me walking [00:00:43]
Holding the hand of a beautiful child[00:00:44]
The child had your eyes and she also had my smile[00:00:46]
And in that moment [00:00:49]
She was the only girl I could love as much as you[00:00:50]
And the weakening reality of this measure begin to erode[00:00:54]
The hope I had of feeling alive so I adopted complacency [00:00:56]
The world took all of our dreams and let fear set in [00:01:00]
And the only way to drown it out was to not feel anything [00:01:03]
But I ask you please save songs for me and my bride to sing [00:01:07]
For when we decide the time is right [00:01:10]
Save songs for me and my bride to sing [00:01:12]
For when we decide to fall asleep [00:01:15]
But until then I guess I'll just keep walking [00:01:18]
When I have nothing to think about [00:01:24]
My mind either wanders into remembering how much I love holding you tight [00:01:26]
Or some nights I just dive into a monologue in my own mind [00:01:30]
Arguing through theology and when I felt completely lonely [00:01:34]
I ventured into a new part of life saying to myself [00:01:37]
We all worship a God who already taught us how to die "[00:01:43]
And would he do it again if he knew I was going to be alive[00:01:46]
Cause I get on my knees to get closer to the sky [00:01:50]
And I take my many blessings and then I kiss them goodbye [00:01:53]
Cause I have this habit of being selfish [00:01:56]
And blaming my shortcomings on just being a habit [00:01:59]
But I love it because it's convenient [00:02:02]
And I keep saying I'm gonna change but until then I'll just keep walking [00:02:05]
And I remember the moment I destroyed everything I loved[00:02:13]
Just to find out that I had no idea what love was [00:02:16]
And the conformity that came with materialistic ambitions reduced[00:02:22]
My heart to nothing more than a target for depression [00:02:26]
When no product is for luxury but now just a cure for depression [00:02:32]
I turned my back on her hoping I could find a new solution[00:02:37]
And I keep walking and the wind picks up and I keep walking [00:02:42]
And I miss my love and I keep walking [00:02:45]
And I keep asking save songs for me and my bride to sing for[00:02:48]
When we decide that the time is right [00:02:51]
Save songs for me and my bride to sing for when we decide to fall asleep [00:02:54]
Cause a gust of wind knocks me off my feet [00:02:58]
And it doesn't seem to affect a single man made building [00:03:01]
I guess sometimes we are weaker than what we create [00:03:04]
So what does that say about our love and our hate[00:03:08]
Maybe nothing Maybe everything Maybe I'm wrong [00:03:11]
Just save something for me [00:03:16]
