How to Quiet Down

How sad and tired,
the fault of blind devotion
In the spirit of a crying child,
never learned how to quiet down
A plague, desire
one the flood and one fire
As you're nearer will you feel its weight?
If you see it will you know its face?
A mother's love knows when it has seen too much
Ring out, like bells
Can you hear it when you give enough?
A pair of glowing eyes in the forest
Do you run or sleep through it?
Lights out, big talk
come back when the going gets tough
Unsure, flat out
Can you feel it when I'm not around?
Fists up and you swing at the first chance
you outlive my impatience
Oh, follow me down to the wire
said you would but you're just so tired
Don't go
hover all night
So slow
riding the bike

I could stay at home and read
by the light of the T.V
I want to know what's gonna happen
with my eyes closed,
please don't tell me what is coming
guess I shouldn't know
As you're filling up with greed
the one you're gonna feed is
gonna be the strongest so you know its face
gonna be the brightest so you know its name
I could live here,
I could wait here
I live outside in the winter
I flourish without walls
and if I'm starving or I'm freezing
I will eat off my own arm
You will make your bed,
we all lie in it
there's another way out
we're so far away now
We all lie in it

I would hesitate
I would not go back
funny as it is, funny as it was
When it comes it pours
Heaven bring a storm
Heaven bring me shit I cannot afford
You will settle down, funny as it was
I wouldn't have it any other way
This is what you know,
Familiar hollow
heavy as it is, funny as it was
Laugh 'cause it's a joke
it always ends the same
but you wouldn't have it any other way
On the seventh night the sky went black
on the eighth I cried and he has echoed back
"come back"
On the final night I sit and wait
for the lord to come and seal my fate
but I'm bored, he's bored
and wants more

getting up hungover
when you slept with all the lights on
you will wash your hands
and you will open all the windows
absolve me of my sins
i never wanted to desert thee-
you knew just where to find me,
wide awake and i am thirsty
fearing every day i could dissolve in you completely
fearing every day i could dissolve
i'm on a leash and i'm a runner
with your full weight on my shoulders
i can't go past this door
but i do hear it's getting warmer
good news is on its way to those of us who have been patient
i take it with a grain of salt,
but i'll still surely take it
i see you in the backyard
cutting grass and pinning laundry
to the line between the trees
i think i felt your heart collapsing
you're an only child
and you're feeling somewhat cheated-
the lonely go to heaven
so i'm feeling optimistic
on a leash and i'm a runner
with your full weight on my shoulders
a consolation prize of sorts
for which i've been so grateful
good news has made its way to those of us who have been patient
and nothing's really changed,
the heavy serving as a constant
one should never fear their neighbor,
we aren't too unalike
we fall asleep at different times
i'll love you for my whole life
don't forget me when you get big
i'll love you for my whole life
don't forget me when you get big
i'll love you for my whole life
don't forget me when you get big
love you all of my life,
don't forget me when you make it
