Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won.
Worry and wake the ones you love.
A phone call Id rather not receive.
Please use my body while I sleep.
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep,
Kept clean and they will let you breathe.
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
so I sat alone and waited out the night.
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So Im asking you to shine it on and stick around.
Im not writing my goodbyes.
I submit no excuse.
If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake.
If I could I would shrink myself
and sink through your skin to your blood cells
and remove whatever makes you hurt
but I am too weak to be your cure.
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?

The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed.
So Im asking you to shine it on and stick around.
Im not writing my goodbyes.
Im not letting you check out.
You will beat this starting now and you will always be around.
Im there to monitor your breathing I will watch you while youre sleeping.
I will keep you safe and sound.
Does anybody remember back when you were very young.
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?

That song is called "Guernica" by Brand New.... Thought you may be able to relate to it a bit right now. Hope everything turns out okay. I' m about to go out for th night, but will probably stop by in here after we get in. Talk to you later.

PS.... Funny that you wrote that song in my journal... We were at a strip club last night (a LOT of us), and one of the girls decided to dance to that song. Fucking hearts sank everywhere... I was like, "I cannot fucking believe she played that, knowing what we do and what we're doing here at the moment..." Poor choice of tunes, the guys with wives and girlfriends were crushed It was like finding a turd in the punch bowl. Guys all got that, "aaaaaaaw, no fucking way..." sad look... We're ready to be out of here.
