you were bound by my ash
and my blood
we'll make it through another winter won't we
let's stop pretending
let's drop the pretenses
what more could i give
all of it spent so you could learn to live

there is a creature that's living in my chest
scratching at the walls trying to leave
screaming "SEE ME SEE ME!"
i want to set it free
but those around could not handle the horror
try to **** it with fire
watch it writhe in disgust
im trying my best to be a good keeper
but leg by leg
it will get out

goodness gracious me oh my
you were so much funnier when alive

theres nothing thats been better
nothing ever better than
seein you smile

goodness gracious me oh my
ive forgotten how to be alive

one foot besides the other
therell never be another
light like you

goodness gracious me oh my
why does it all feel like a lie

the boatman and his laughter
two coins to send you after
sail on by

whyd you have to leave me behind
your legacy your love
to keep me company

theres nothing ever better
nothing thats been better than
seein you smile

goodbye

sweet alien child of mine
i don't think ill see you get older
your limbs are thin and bones fragile
i hope you know ill love you through this

you were born under the dark moon
with lights hidden from view
someday i hope i will be too
and i can walk along with you

our stars misaligned somewhere on the path
but i know they'll still shine through
it's been so long and my heart still aches
but it's for the best to lay this to rest

sweet alien child of mine
ill hold your hand while you slip into
that place deep inside of the sky
