Take Heart
On dreadful marches to delightful pleasures
You folded me into your breath
I found myself on a cloud looking down
Forgetting the bullet in my chest
And we sank like paper planes
Even our high hopes can't hold us up
When the smoke clears and the earth reappears
At least we'll remember the stars
Take heart
My darling
Take heart
It's almost over
The sun's just over the horizon
Take heart
Take a breath
Push on
Take a breath to forget in another cigarette
Acting like the ones I’m smoking aren’t your favorite
Pass you by, sad smile “Whats happening?”
Sigh, inhale, pause, “I fucking hate gravity,
Man, have you ever felt really dragged down?”
I said “Yeah, but getting high won’t get you out.”
Early spring heart broken, shattered into pieces
Waste away a summer, color changing glass pieces
When did life’s escape become life’s meaning?
So separate from reality we’re not even dreaming
Every fall, rules change, leaves change, then you changed
Can’t look me in the eye and you go by another name
How many cans of paint did it take to get your face that blue?
What happened to the bright light that I once knew?
Smile on your face says you’re feeling so alive
But God damn you’ve been dead for a while
And we sank like paper planes
Even our high hopes can't hold us up
When the smoke clears
And the earth reappears
At least we'll have memories of stars
Take heart
My darlin
Take heart
It's almost over
The sun's just over the horizon
Take heart
Take a breath
Push on
Waste away a summer, color changing glass pieces
When did life’s escape become life’s meaning?
So separate from reality we’re not even dreaming
Every fall, rules change, leaves change, then you changed
Can’t look me in the eye and you go by another name
How many cans of paint did it take to get your face that blue?
What happened to the bright light that I once knew?
Smile on your face says you’re feeling so alive
