Emma, My Dear

Tell all my friends I'm gonna walk into the sea I read all the spoilers and the ending's not for me What good is a man with only smoke inside his head I can't see the shoreline from a hospital bed Emma, my dear, my hands can't hold you Like they used to do in a crowded room When the universe was still brand new Emma, my dear, there are things I never told you Draw the curtains closed, count the final dose And I will save you from the truth Spent all my time chasing ghosts underground If I'm gone by the morning they won't haunt this tired house What good is a man inside a casket on a hill Spinning in the silence of the lies that he's built Emma, my dear, my hands can't hold you Like they used to do in a crowded room When the universe was still brand new Emma, my dear, there are things I never told you Draw the curtains closed, count the final dose And I will save you from the truth Devils in the doorway Debts I'll never repay Stumbling down through the sand Unsteady feet, confident plans I slipped the note under your door Staring down the horizon line Unsteady hands, infinite time I'm sorry I'm forever yours
