So Say I

I cry out for mercy, I cry out for love

In the every day nightmare consumed by the rub

That we shouldn't be yearning nor frivolous daydreaming now

Well I ran like a beast to get this far behind

And I'm looking for shelter to quiet my mind

And I really don't suppose that I chose the appropriate time

Well I've booked first class fare on the next train to hell

And the few precious moments I've still got to tell

That I'm broken and tired but reluctant to bid you farewell

So say I, so say I, so say I, so say I

So say I

I've developed a theory on friendships and time

It assumes those that stand on the firing line

Are prepared to experience life as it dies on the vine

But the truth of the matter is perfectly clear

On my best days I'm ****** and dangerously near

My colossal next ******, and manifestation of fear

Well I've booked first class fare on the next train to hell

And the few precious moments I've still got to tell

That I'm broken and tired but reluctant to bid you farewell

So say I, so say I, so say I, so say I

So say I

I'm banking on nostalgia to temper my tongue

I've got barely any nerve to pretend that I'm young

It's an vicious endless cycle of leaving a poem unsung, yeah

I'm hoping for a ray of the tiniest light

In a sea of indescribable darkness that

I would just manufacture all on my own

Until you arrive

If I find that my head is becoming unkind

And I start giving tragedy sideshow advice

Best I clean up my own mess than leaving a target behind

So let's raise up our glasses to laughter and loss

To memories of hellraising, and bridges we've crossed

And the foam off the flagon stains 8 down and 16 across

Well I've booked first class fare on the next train to hell

And the few precious moments I've still got to tell

That I'm broken and tired but reluctant to bid you farewell

So say I, so say I, so say I, so say I

So say I

So say I, so say I, so say I, so say I

So say I

So say I, so say I, so say I, so say I

So say I
