I have a friend and when he sings, i cry All the memories inside try to rebirth and give me life But i can't talk about old times tonight 'cause round here blue light stays up all the time It's seven o'clock I already feel late All the pain from my stress are beating my chest About decisions i've had to make Well i breathe in light And i breathe out light Run my hands through my hair, threw my breath in the air Oh, i'm so tired of running When all your bad boys have gone sour And you're shivering, cold and alone in a shower Oh baby that soap won't make you clean Screaming at jesus just to let you bleed It's seven-thirty I can smell the candles burning I could go to sleep now I'll just wait till morning When the melodies come and sing me stories All the birds that can talk No, they're never boring There's nothing like hearing that girl cry on the receiver And your stomach hurts so bad 'cause you think you need her So you down that cough syrup You love feeling so screwed up And you crawl up those steps and read yourself to sleep Yeah, you crawl up those steps and sing yourself to peace It's eight o'clock She didn't eat today Yeah, hurting herself's never felt this great Well you see that green hill, friend That's where i'm gonna be Watching glory coming in the form of morning I was found on that dark hillside With a certain painting by my side Screaming: knock down the house of regret Knock it down, pave it over Till you feel younger and younger Knock it down, pave it over Till you feel like you can't again Knock it down, pave it over Till your heart's warmer and warmer Knock it down, pave it over Till you wake up born again
