 Phase I:
 Slowly  the pen touches paper in the
guidance  of the words that you write
Memories  roll in of the
 things you once did
 And who  you had shared  them with
   is somebody thinking  of you
 Did I  bother telling you this
 with the words  that cross
 teeth and jump lips
 A poor  choice of words in
 wanting to tell you anything
 But words  don't come with
ease they're  forever  my hurt
 Would it really matter if you
 were to count  the days
 left with your hands
 Your focus  secure and
 the loves you left well
 Smiles  staged in photographs
here  until
 You You left the light  on
 There's a chance I might
 have  tripped girl
 You were there  to hold on
Ignoring  the words of your
 obnoxious  little brother
Kill  or be killed spilled the
words  from your mother
I'll  lay awake for a while
 I'll leave  the light on a while
 You couldn't last  a lifetime  caught
 between here and the days of it
 Carving her  name across your arm
 with every wish its...
 ...hit or miss her
I  told  you so I  measured
distance  in  lines
 departing  the rest  of my life
 But you had better
 things to do
 But you had better
 things to do
 Liar  Liar
 Liar Liar
 Liar Liar...
 (Repeat x4)
 (Repeat Chorus)
 (Repeat Bridge)
 (Repeat Verse 4)
----
 If you'd  get put to sleep
 like an old
 dog you're better off
 should you  get put to sleep
I've  been cautious  with
 the words  I extend
Allow  this year  before
 the world  starts to end
----
 Your fathers dead he
 passed in his sleep
 and I woke to the
 sounds of her crying
 Your fathers dead he
 passed in his sleep
 and I woke to the
 sounds of her crying
 Your fathers dead he
 passed in his sleep
 Your fathers dead he
 passed in his sleep
 Pray for us all
 (Repeat x32)
 Pray for us all My
 dearest Appollo
 I'll be burning star 4
