Wake

Someone please come with me
Forcibly but comfortably
There’s much to see so trust in me
I will speak slowly
Everybody’s headed for the west now
And it’s killing me to be obsolete
The beaten path, the aftermath of photographs

Everything I’ve built is crumbling
And nothing worth saving remains
Remember how I was today

Take me out back and put me down

So now I’m lying on the cooling board
Nothing less and nothing more
I’m naked and afraid
Give me one good reason not to back down
And just give it up, like you give a fuck
The golden age is dead today so turn the page

Everything I’ve built is crumbling
And nothing worth saving remains
You left me here to die alone

Let me down easy

I feel it in my heart
While the rest of me remains underneath the ground

Everything I’ve built is crumbling
And nothing worth saving remains
I lie in silence in my grave

Let me down easy
And let it go
