By the Time

Set me down for the evening Enjoy the calm that precedes the storm Heard you say you were leaving You seem fine whatcha need me for You're smiling even now as it hurts to Your silence says way more than your words do Your timing came to me like a curfew I've been trying but I still haven't learned you I thought I'd find you sooner but we're so spaced out That mind is nothing short of a maze now Well that kind of mystery has no place now You've been flying since you haven't been weighed down By the time you wake to read this it will probably be past dawn By that time I'll lay in pieces as I wait for no response Don't come too close You'll see my ghost You'll keep my hopes up way too high Just leave me broke and bleeding Vultures feeding On me where I lie Said your heart wasn't beating I don't believe that show me proof I know the tide's been receding Would it have stayed if we told it to I've noticed now that we haven't said much My motives left me mute should've kept touch I know the honeymoon phase has left us My focus now is fixed on a dead sun This hole was sealed but now it's starting to leak through I know these streets but now they suddenly seem new I don't recall this being what we agreed to Guess someone found the road that I couldn't keep to By the time you wake to read this it will probably be past dawn By that time I'll lay here speechless while I struggle to stay calm Don't come too close You'll see my ghost You'll keep my hopes up way too high Just leave me broke and bleeding Vultures feeding On me when I die
