Deja Entendu

Brand New Deja Entendu Album

8.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?
