I Will Deliver You To The Fireflies

(álbum: Always Lose - 2017)

Left all my bags at the gates,
I held your hand as you tried to escape.
You were weak from the nights that you spent,
Fighting your way out of hospital beds.
I tried so hard to carry you,
Fighting through every part of it. All of the pain.
But I was weak from the nights that I spent,
Laying awake in those hospital beds.

Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control.
While they took down your name, I was pleading with them to go slow.

I played you that song that you love.
I let you down, I'd forgotten the words.
I watched as you still tried to dance,
But it's hard when the wires pour out of your chest.
Made cathedrals with old cotton sheets,
We held on to belief like it's all we had left.
Saw you smiled as you still tried to laugh,
But it's hard when the wires pour out of your chest.

Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control.

Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control.
While they took down your name, I was pleading with them to go slow.
Oh, and I still remember the sky falling down.
The way that the world seemed to not make a sound.
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control.

I convinced myself that you were going home.
That there's a reason behind everything that we don't know.
And I convinced myself that you were going home.

Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control.
Couldn't control.
