Guernica
- Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won
- Worry and wake the ones you love
- A phone call I'd rather not receive
- Please use my body while I sleep
- My lungs are fresh and yours to keep
- Kept clean and they will let you breathe
- Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
- I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind
- Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
- So I sat alone and waited out the night
- The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
- So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
- I'm not writing my goodbyes
- I submit no excuse
- If this is what I have to do
- I owe you every day I wake
- If I could I would shrink myself
- And sink through your skin to your blood cells
- And remove whatever makes you hurt but
- I am too weak to be your cure
- Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
- I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind
- Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
- So I sat alone and waited out the night
- The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
- So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
- I'm not writing my goodbyes
- I'm not letting you check out
- You will beat this, starting now
- And you will always be around
- I'm there to monitor your breathing
- I will watch you while you're sleeping
- I will keep you safe and sound
- Does anybody remember back when you were very young?
- Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
- Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
- So I sat alone and waited out the night
- The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
- So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
- I'm not writing my goodbyes
