You hum like the Christmas lights
When you crawl into bed at night
You tried to hide from the fright
But I saw right through your eyes
I’m still awake tonight
When I cross right through your mind
I’m sick of hide and seek
Sarah, come back out for me
You have your jewelry
Hanging up above your sink
Nothing but a scary dream of oppression
Sung like nursery
Get clean for me

Basketball in the street
The room next to me
A journal by your bed
The lyrics in your head
You always cheated at board games
But we played anyway
Christmas feels so different
It will never be the same
Come back home
You’re not alone
One year ago
You said no
Tell me again you’ll always love me
Tell me again which way
To take the foul on a layup
In this basketball game
I don’t believe much in fate
but id like to say
you and mom are together
In some type of way
She said come back home
You’re not alone
One year ago
You said no
It’s just the truth
We were hard on you
When he died I grew
And so will you

Blood moon over the heads of the meek
We’ll inherit the earth but we’ll be fast asleep
We’re a dead eyed stare at a hole in the wall
We’re a rock climber on a cliff too tall
I’m sick of kneeling to an empty priest
Closing my eyes while they baptize me
Hiding behind my bedroom sheets
Digging graves in all my bad dreams
Dead asleep on your birthdays eve
Trying to win but you friends all cheat
What do you think about staying with me
Am I what you saw in your childhood dreams
You’re sick of crawling for the family throne
Humming nursery rhymes while you're all alone
Keeping distance from the ones who love you most
Trying to stitch the things you used to sew
You don’t have to heal me when I am weak
Or bend over backwards to comfort me
Remember your dreams when you go to sleep
Wake up to the sounds that birds sing
Come alive when you think of me
Fall asleep as I’m leaving

When I drive to Hayley’s house
I pass by the hospital where you died
I watched you breathe in and I
Watched you struggle to breathe out
Narrated by Mount Eerie, I drive as slow as I can
To pass through a moment in time that’s only relative to where I am
I say goodbye one more time
I hope you feel pretty when you wake up cause you deserve to feel something akin to self love
Devotion is tough, I don’t feel it enough
You said “devotion is tough when you never show up”
Tie the bricks to my wrist
Tell me to swim if I can

The coffee is ready, but you’ll have to fix it
Pause the comedy, I don’t want to miss it
‘Cause I need a laugh, even just for a second
To distract my mind from useless depression
Your brother is coming home, he wasn’t convicted
Who can blame him for causing some mischief?
We’ve all been kids, it’s part of living
Just always keep a life full of learning
The dog on the balcony is looking suspicious
Knock on the owner's door, ask if they’ll miss him
Take him home, keep a bowl in the kitchen
It still gets cold out here in the winter
Denied every time from heaven’s admission
But if there’s a god out there, I don’t think I’ll miss them
It’s not my home,I was evicted
From the pearly gates, ‘cause I am a sinner
