For a Few Good Men

A man begins to walk towards the horizon

Counting up the death that he has put himself through

Calls everyone he knows

Says goodbye to friends and me and you

White little lies that were fine keep us going

Too much time in our eyes

To make right what we know is wrong

A man carves two initials into maple

Hoping they will spark up all the things he wished he'd feel

These trees have no idea what they're in for

This fire feels so real

And white little lies that in time they'll stop running

Too much time in our eyes

To hold tight the warmth that we need

Here's what to say to the love that you want when they're gone

They're always wrong

The time we spent together when the light was out

Became my thought of you

Oh, it's way too dark to read in here

This fairytale just ain't coming true

A man is lying dying on the side walk

Tracing down the edges of his tarnished wedding ring

The cardboard sign in front of him says

"Change won't change a thing"

Why even try getting by when you're hopeless

All the time passing by will never lie

Its the choice that we make

So here's what to say to the god that you trust when its time

There's always time

The fire that's inside me died

The only light I had left back to you

Oh, it's way too cold to breathe in here

I'm trying but this body just won't do
