Farewell 03:58
I’m not drowning, I’m waving At a slowly shrinking boat I’m jealous of the waves That I know you will tame What’s left for us but farewell? What’s left for us but farewell? What’s left but farewell, baby? I’m honored by your leave Because really what it means Proof that time to time The universe is kind What’s left for us but farewell? What’s left for us but farewell? What’s left but farewell, baby? I’m terrified of life Without you by my side But some day we will pass Across a crowded floor We’ll catch each other’s eyes Share nothing but a smile Together cry in wake For the tender strength we gave We’ll find us at the end If not as lovers then as friends It’s beautiful the way There’ll be nothing left to say There’s nothing left to say There’s nothing left to say What’s left for us but farewell? What’s left for us but farewell? What’s left for us but farewell? What’s left for us but farewell? I’m not drowning, I’m waving I’m not drowning, I’m waving

How does it feel now it’s gone? You wasted away every second of it Here comes the devil And all is lost Here comes the devil He’s such a doll You know it’s not like they say it When you die there’s no escaping from it You wander around like you’re living You fill up your time talking to gothics Until the devil He brings you home Here comes the devil Dome ego sum (Shinra Knives) sanguinem bibimus Corpus edimus tolle corpus Satanae avē, avē Antichriste Avē Satana!

When I’m down for the count I mean really down When I’m sliding leagues below Into the warm embrace of the unknown Oooo Do you still love me? Even when I’m on my way down? Oooo Do you still love me? Even when I’m on my way down? Will you carry me with you Like a hot cross on a sinner’s chest Am I worthy of your love Long after I’m dead? Oooo Will you still love me? Even when I’m never coming home Oooo Do you still love me? You can say yes I would never know Oooo Do you still love me? Even when I’m on my way down?

I’m so glad that I could make it I never got the invitation I’ll take my rawhide in the basement I don’t wanna upset your guests Is it me? Am I breaking my own heart? It’s me I’m breaking my own heart I’ve got no one else to blame Can’t seem to put my telephone phone away I’ve got nothing else to do Than self-destruct in front of you Is it me? Am I breaking my own heart? It’s me I’m breaking my own hear (Adam Schatz saxophone solo) Is it me? Am I breaking my own heart? It’s me I’m breaking my own heart

Heaven knows I’m in hell Virgil walked me here Right to you If I had died in my mother’s arms I’d be fawning on Mary up above but Heaven knows I’m in hell chasing you Heaven knows I’m hell As I was above Here as well May love lead us to one Death Let it be treacherous, let it be true And may Death lead me to you Take me with you Wherever you go That’s heaven for me Paradise or brimstone I will walk the length of the river If you will it I will swim too Just let it empty to you

I want to walk in velvety bluffs with you every day And we don’t really speak so we don’t really fight I wanna eat mushrooms that we found on the way And when I lose it I find calm in your eyes Our Table Rock Antichrist child is waiting And nobody likes to be made to wait very long I want to dress in matching white sheer in the bluffs when we’re old And forget all the names of our friends And we smile ‘cause the hollowers scoff when we end up in church It’s only natural to have nerves at the end Table Rock Antichrist calling us home Nobody likes to be made to wait Silver Dollar City is calling our names Nobody likes to be made to wait very long The Shepherd of the Hills is calling us home Nobody likes to be made to wait very long The Table Rock Antichrist calling us home (Eric Hudson guitar solo) Table Rock Antichrist calling us home Nobody likes to be made to wait Silver Dollar City is calling our names Nobody likes to be made to wait very long The Shepherd of the Hills is calling us home Nobody likes to be made to wait very long The Table Rock Antichrist calling us home Nobody likes to be made to wait

You always said you were Gonna be bald Got it from your moms side You swore to god I can’t help feeling Cheated by the thought That I’ll never find out If you were right or not It’s hard to say your name Yet I say it all the time anyways Strange that make me feel Better never reaching out Or skipping the wake In my defense it was on my birthday Well here I go makin’ it all about me I can’t let you have anything In poor taste and I know you’d hate this To treat your absence like presence escaping Better not reaching out But I do it anyway In my defense I don’t have anything good to say Well here I go makin’ it all about me I can’t let you have anything

Some passions cut so deep You measure it in leagues His eyes were like a sheep But his bay was far from bleating His heart gentle enough Enough to mimic love Enough to draw my touch Bathe his brother’s blade in blood And now we circle ‘round and around Around and around Around and around Some penance is so wry You just can’t help but smile Now we’ve got nothing but time Tail of minos ‘round us twice Now draw my touch again Draw through the tempest wind The dizziness and sin Draw me close enough to kiss While we circle ‘round and around Around and around Around and around
9.
Fruitless as the days are patient There’s nothing left to do but laugh In the absence of some holy immolation I can’t help feel godly wrath I’m holding out for godliness or something But nothing ever comes, nothing ever feels right Hope for divine intervention Nothing intervenes but you So I want you to be the death of me I’ve never been so sure of anything Holding for a total dissolution But everyone carries on wearing their seatbelts I’m holding for apocalyptic trumpets But it’s crickets all the time, maybe it’s a punchline I want you to be the death of me I’ve never been so sure of anything
10.
I would free fall With smile on my face Through the gates of hell If I knew you were waiting I could lose everything Every dollar I’ve made Break every bone in my face To spend one more day with you Ooo Here comes the devil Ooo Here he comes Tell me about the afterlife Is it what they say Is it harps and babies Or is compost in a grave? I always see the back of your head Never seeing your face You never turn around When I shout your name Ooo Here comes the devil Ooo Here he comes
