Guster Follow

He smiled to the world
But his heart fell below his pain
He wanted only arms
But he lied to himself again
Closing doors and locking locks
He looked inside himself
Only to find
Seeping from his soul
Let me fall in two
Wide as a river and spread as thin
What it could start and no one would finish
Bottled up frowning treaties or what they would
Knowing not nothing he was the only son
Closing doors and locking locks
He looked inside himself
Only to find
Seeping from his soul
Let me fall in two
Let me fall in two
What are you running from?
He finds himself away
Only have to make the world come find you
Try to leave but there is nothing he can do
Downcast eyes scrutinize
As to what the lead ball hummingbird could not succumb
To find what is gone you must burn what is dried
And smell the essence of what remains inside
And blackened thoughts erase all that is past
Before him not knowing where it’s coming
So you shake him around and scream into his eyes
That to drown in the water is to lie by his side
Closing doors and locking locks
He looked inside himself
Only to find
Seeping from his soul
Let me fall in two
