The Elected

I LOVE this song!

*

If my senses fail,

stay with me til they go

cuz I don't wanna be alone.

Greetings in braille,

they'll describe everything.

The colors aren't everything.

~

And if you see me

down at the liquor store,

please don't tell my dad.

And if you see my dad

down at the liquor store,

don't tell me anything at all.

~

And the people you brought were just strangers

bringing trash to the grounds.

And the memories are

picture cards on nightstands and break downs.

~

You were cold, tired, and

old as you ever looked that night.

We were warned, yeah.

We were warned not to stay out too late.

But some things were worth

getting in trouble for.

~

So now that you finally fell.

Just like like you said you would,

down to the last detail.

Well if living's such hell,

here's to your dying days.

You won't have to be afraid.

~

And the heroes you met

where just fiction, yeah

with high expectations.

When your friends grow up

faster than you and got successful.

They told you to keep it up,

good comes to those who work.

~

And the stories they told you were true, babe.

Your mom really went crazy.

But that doesn't have to be you, no.

~

Now I miss Toya, Melissa, Allen, and Sean.

You had never had friends

like you did when you were young.

When our bodies were pulled away

and swept out to the sea.

And I'd call and say hi

if I thought you'd remember me.

Cause some things are worth

leaving our memories for.

~

If my senses fail,

stay with me til they go

cuz I don't wanna be alone.

Greetings in braille

should describe everything

cause you can't see anything from here.

From here, there's nothing at all.

Nothing at all.
