Hold on
I know it's hard.
I know it's hard.
Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
Don't do this thing,
Don't give in to it.
Don't give into this.
You are worth more than that.
You are worth more
More to Him.
More to me.
You are worth more than that.
Don't beg, don't cry,
Don't whimper.
It's hard.
Be a man about this.
Be strong.
People need you.
They are counting on you
They depend on you.
Don't give this up.
Don't give in to this.
Letting the smoke rise
from his lips,
he continued to fume
Fume, the fumes
And he continued to allow
The worst thing.

And he died.

Don't die.
Don't give into this.
Let things go.
Let the things heal.
Don't allow it to take you with it.
That's not fair.
It isn't fair.
Half a world away
There are the people who really need you
There are the people you run from
The dirty laundry in the past
Comes back to haunt.

So how about instead of laying it out
For all the world to see,
Clean it
Cleanse it
Cleanse your soul.
Let all this crap go away.
You have a mind,
You are brilliant enough to
get it all out of the way.

It has nothing to do with you.
It has nothing to do.
Go.
Get out of here.
Why do you stare?
Why do you come to gawk?
Gaping at the two.
The two in the sand
The two in the dark.
Leave me. Leave us.
We will survive.
We have what is necessary to survive.
And you do too.
You do not need us
You do not love us.
And we need you to leave so that we can go
Into this world and love it
The way it deserves
Without you staining all of our
Clean clothes
With your filthy memories.

Leave us.
Leave us.

There are no times for this.
There is no time.

Leave these tears,
Find a place to put them.
Let them be a pillow on which can rest
Your broken hearts
And follow us down the road
To glory and honor and
Time with our father.
Pureness and peace that those
Terse ones will never know.
Pureness and peace that the ones
Who go east will never see until
The end has come to this story.

Don't end it all until the end that must come
Must come.
Don't end it at all until the end that must come
Comes in the depths of a
Life well-lived, well ended.
Life can be well lived.
You have to begin to give the gift
You were meant to give.
So live.
You must stop this folly.

Don't bathe in your smouldering perfume.
Don't bathe in your misery,
Your battles, don't fall.
I'm telling you.
Don't fall. Don't fall.
You are not an autumn leaf,
You are not the winter's chill,
Nor are you the summer worms that
Squirm, be still.
Don't squirm. Be still.

Don't drive, don't bathe,
Don't smoke, don't wave out
of all of existance, I beg of you.
I beg of you to stay a while.
Smile that smile I love it
I love that smile that smile.
Don't let go.
Don't be so sad all the time.
Don't listen to me so much
Where is your heart,
Where is your heart?
Hold.
