lyrics

Lay down for the night
On your bed of broken glass.
Find out what you missed
In all the time that’s passed.

'Cause now it’s come to this,
Shattered on your spine,
You look up at the clouds
As the concrete’s rushing by.

And people they will talk,
All about the years,
Your glowing sunlight smile,
And possible careers.

But now you’re on your knees
And you're screaming at the cold,
Needing just spare change,
Or just a hand to hold.

But in a hundred-thousand heads
And a million rotting hearts,
There’s one to mend your pieces
Before you fall apart.
Swear you won’t stop trying,
You’ve so much more to give.
I don’t need to see you smile,
I just wanna see you live.

From the day your mother cried you
To the day your daddy left,
You rushed to hide the scars
That were hiding in your head.

And you took it with a grin,
Every crooked little glance
From every crooked little shit
That never let you have your chance

To show us your own worth,
To get up off the ground.
But you lowered your eyelids,
And never made a sound.

So you scramble for your purpose,
And bleach to hide your stains.
But there’s love down in the basement,
The sewers, and the rain.

But in a hundred-thousand heads
And a million rotting hearts,
There’s one to mend your pieces
Before you fall apart.
Swear you won’t stop trying,
You’ve so much more to give.
I don’t need to see you smile,
I just wanna see you live.

I just wanna see you.

But in a hundred-thousand heads
And a million rotting hearts,
There’s one to mend your pieces
Before you fall apart.
Swear you won’t stop trying,
You’ve so much more to give.
I don’t need to see you smile,
I just wanna see you... Live.
