Stay
Your heart is a ghost
Its haunting this home
And the space that’s between you and I
It’s getting cold
I asked you to stay
You said your memories are always mine to hold
You said you’re leaving but the choice was not your own
You tried to fix this right before you had to go
And I said stay
Now I watch our clocks move further away
I asked you to stay
I asked you to stay
There’s nothing else here to see or say
You’re wrong your stars are gone like the light I can’t see
And when night sky comes around the clouds above will cover me
Your heart is a ghost
And the whole world is yours to hold
I asked you to stay
You said your memories are always mine to hold
You said you’re leaving but the choices that you made were not your own
If you have to fix this then I’ll be sure to keep it broke
And I said stay
Now I watch our clocks move further away
I asked you to stay
I asked you to stay
Now I watch our clocks move further away
(and your memory is starting to fade)
I asked you to stay
(you said you’re leaving but the choice was not your own)
I asked you to stay
(If you have to fix this I’ll be sure to keep it broke)
Don’t go
Now you’re father than the pieces of the sun
Don’t go
All the pieces of the years turn into one
Don’t go
You’re the memory of the ghost that’s in my home
Don’t go
And the piece of all the world is yours to hold
Now I watch our clocks move further away
I asked you to stay
(Now you’re father than the pieces of the sun)
I asked you to stay
(All the pieces of the years turn into one)
Now I watch our clocks move further away
(and your memory is starting to fade)
I asked you to stay
(You’re the memory of the ghost that’s in my heart)
I asked you to stay
(And the piece of all the world just falls apart)

There’s something to be said for the broken
At least they learned how to put on a face
People always say your prayers are answered
Well God talked to me while I was asleep
Said “Son, the prayers you screamed have been heard”
In Hollywood North, surrounded by trees
God, these clouds that you put in the sky
Like there’s something between both you and I
God, these lids that you put in my eyes
Like there’s something between both you and I
Like there’s something between both you and I
Your body has become the leaves of Autumn
And I scream the wind don’t take them away
You’re saving face but your eyes deceive you
Like the fog on my window the sky turning grey
God, these clouds that you put in the sky
Like there’s something between both you and I
God, these lids that you put in my eyes
Like there’s something between both you and I
Like there’s something between both you and I
God, these clouds that you put in the sky
Like there’s something between both you and I
God, these lids that you put in my eyes
Like there’s something between both you and I
Like there’s something between both you and I
The winter air will cover your weakness
The frozen ground will take what is left
I can try and become your blanket
Your fireplace warmth to comfort the rest

Words
If silence is golden
You got the gold
Took it and left me
Here on my own
You can run
Go build your walls
Watch as I shatter
Bones on the stones
Try to break down this fortress
Built as your own
But words run out
I can’t make you read them
But the moon will stay
And the tide will change
And your ocean will betray you
Words, sticks and stones
Haven’t broken my bones
It’s the silence you left me
Here all alone
You are my run-on sentence
If you’re running in circles don’t trip on your feet
Or someone will catch you and it won’t be me
You can run
But don’t you fall
You are the anchor and I am the sail
And with you beside me I’m gasping for air
I can’t run
No, I can’t
But the moon will stay
And the tide will change
And your ocean will betray you
I am scared
No, I’m terrified
Cause I know that it won’t be me
No, it won’t be me
I am scared
No I’m terrified
Cause I know that it won’t be me
To pick you up to catch you anymore
I will wait beneath the snow
For you to remember
I’ll watch our clocks so far apart
But they still move together

Him
(Broken are the fingers gripping everything I hold
I am the arbiter of falling short and everything I've known
You can try to build your tower but your heaven won’t be reached
I am the arbiter of falling short and everything I dream)
Now we can’t stand still
We’re always pacing around just trying to find ourselves
But nothing seems to change
It’s like we’re trapped inside a cage we built around ourselves
It’s like I’m standing on the edge
Of everything I could become but I can’t believe myself
Broken are the hands that held tight everything I own
I am the failure of fathers, I am the prodigal son
Yeah
And time stands still
When you’re broken like the clock just counting down itself
Until our times run out and the pieces of our lives are falling off the shelf
If you’re torn in two
Between the person that you are and who you want to be
Then follow me I can take you to a place
Where the devil and God are raging silently inside of me
Yeah
I wait for the son of God to come down
I wait for the love of my life to come down
Save me from the person I have become
Rip my heart out tear me apart
Yeah
I can’t break this broken heart any more than you can fix it
