If the Accident Will

I hope you understand this is me
This is everything that I am
I could apologize forever
but it wouldn't change a thing
All of my transgressions, and all of my mistakes
Bury me underground
Every picture that I hang is more fragile than the last
I'm keeping company with the glass that shatters
The things that I hold dear to me tend to evaporate
Watch everything disappear
Erase the time that I've been searching
and subtract from me whatever I have left
I'm still standing, but not as tall
Rain on me, black cloud
Envelope me in forever
I've become unstuck in time
Between now and death
Everything is certain
So sing me to sleep
Fill your fingertips with ink and kill me with your words
Bring me back to life in the same breath.
So fragile are the hours, are the minutes, I have left with you
and I remain silent until the very last one
I wish I could find a way to thank everyone
for everything they've done for me.
I promise I am doing my best to make it through this
We're no longer reading left to right
And we burned up all the pages anyway
The truth seems to enslave us
How strange it is to even exist
And be something of consequence
It's not a matter of where but when
Cast your shadow on me
You're only gonna get what you asked for
And while I'm drifting away
Cast your shadow on me
You're only gonna get what you asked for
And while I'm drifting away
You're gonna carry that weight.
It's lights out (Please don't leave me alone)
I'm not saying goodbye.
I'm just resting my eyes for a little while
(You're only gonna get what you asked for)
I'm not falling asleep.
I'm just trying to breathe (And while I'm drifting away)
So please forgive me
