Deathbed - Relient K[00:00:00]

I can smell the death on the sheets covering me[00:00:33]

I can't believe this is the end[00:00:40]

But this is my deathbed[00:00:54]

I lie here alone[00:01:00]

If I close my eyes tonight[00:01:04]

I know I'll be home[00:01:10]

The year was 1941[00:01:18]

I was eight years old and far far too young[00:01:22]

To know that the stories of battles and glory[00:01:26]

Was a tale a kind mother made up for her son[00:01:30]

You see[00:01:34]

Dad was a traveling preacher[00:01:35]

Teaching the words of the teacher[00:01:39]

But mother had sworn he ran off to the war[00:01:43]

And died there with honor somewhere on a beach there[00:01:47]

But he left once to never return[00:01:51]

Which taught me that I should unlearn[00:01:55]

Whatever I thought a father should be[00:01:59]

I abandoned that thought like he abandoned me[00:02:03]

By 47 I was 14[00:02:07]

I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine[00:02:11]

I smoked until I threw up yet I still lit em up for 30 more years[00:02:16]

Like a machine[00:02:23]

So right there you have it[00:02:26]

Now one filthy habit[00:02:30]

Is what got me where I am today[00:02:34]

I can smell the death on the sheets covering me[00:02:39]

I can't believe this is the end[00:02:45]

I can hear those sad memories still haunting me[00:02:55]

So many things I'd do again[00:03:01]

But this is my deathbed[00:03:13]

I lie here alone[00:03:18]

If I close my eyes tonight[00:03:21]

I know I'll be home[00:03:26]

Got married on my 21st[00:03:30]

8 months before my wife would give birth[00:03:35]

It's easier to be sure you love someone[00:03:39]

When her father inquires with the barrel of a gun[00:03:42]

The union was far from harmonious[00:03:47]

No two people could have been more alone than us[00:03:51]

The years would go by and she'd love someone else[00:03:55]

And I'd realized I hadn't been loved yet myself[00:03:59]

From there it's your typical speel[00:04:03]

Yeah if life was a highway I was drunk at the wheel[00:04:07]

I was helping the loose ends all fall apart[00:04:11]

Yeah I swear I was destined to fail[00:04:16]

And fail from the start[00:04:19]

I bowled about six times a week[00:04:22]

The bottle of beam kept the memories from me[00:04:26]

Our marriage had taken a seven ten split[00:04:30]

And along with my pride the ex wife took the kids[00:04:34]

I can smell the death on the sheets covering me[00:04:39]

I can't believe this is the end[00:04:45]

I can hear those sad memories still haunting me[00:04:55]

So many things I'd do again[00:05:01]

But this is my deathbed[00:05:13]

I lie here alone[00:05:18]

If I close my eyes tonight[00:05:21]

I know I'll be home[00:05:26]

I was so scared of jesus[00:05:30]

But he sought me out[00:05:32]

Like the cancer in my lungs[00:05:34]

Is killing me now[00:05:36]

And I've given up hope on the days I have left[00:05:38]

But I cling to the hope of my life in the next[00:05:43]

Then jesus showed up said before we go up[00:05:47]

I thought that we might reminisce[00:05:51]

See one night in your life when you turned out the lights[00:05:54]

You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness[00:05:59]

You cried wolf with tears they soaked your fur[00:06:05]

The blood dripped from your fangs[00:06:11]

You said what have I done[00:06:14]

You loved that lamb with every sinful bone[00:06:19]

And there you wept alone[00:06:25]

Your heart was so contrite[00:06:29]

You said jesus please forgive me of my crimes[00:06:34]

Sanctify this withered heart of mine[00:06:42]

Stay with me until my life is through[00:06:49]

And on that day please take me home with you[00:06:56]

I can smell the death on the sheets covering me[00:07:05]

I can't believe this is the end[00:07:11]

I can hear you whisper to me it's time to leave[00:07:23]

You'll never be lonely again[00:07:29]

But this was my deathbed[00:07:42]

I died there alone[00:07:47]

When I closed my eyes tonight[00:07:51]

You carried me home[00:07:56]

I am the way follow me and take my hand[00:10:01]

And I am the truth embrace me and you'll understand[00:10:11]

And I am the light and through me you'll live again[00:10:20]

For I am love[00:10:30]

I am love[00:10:35]

I am[00:10:45]

Love[00:10:50]
