Lawrence Arms - Chapter 13: The Hero Appears lyrics

the well went dry

my blood thinned out

i scrapped through

a thousand layers

of paint-like years

the secret's in

conjested grins sigh

i'm trying to find places to breathe now

and if this were a book

i'd call this song the final chapter

and if you read it

you'd be laughin'

if it could end right now

the last lines would be

my body jolted in

and out of stolen soundwaves

the world expands or shrinks

on any given monday

tuesday evening dyes a room blue

friday's window has it's own view

and if this were a book

i'd call this song the final chapter

and if you read it

you'd be laughin'

if it could end right now

the last lines would be

good friend

how loud do you want life to shout her answers in your ear?

she lights her streaming by on stiff necks

connected prayers used to sign off things

keep on counting them

maybe hold your breath

i'm trying to exhale you softly

don't be so vein

i'm not impressed in past-tense

i don't do impressions

the blood has dried

(good friend, how loud do)

now i can wash my hands with tears you cried

(want life to shout her)

if you could frame this feeling

(good friend, how loud do)

at night it would whisper to me

good friend

how loud do you want life to shout her answers in your ear?
