You Don't Have To Die

from Garden Variations by Cory Fay

/

lyrics

It always goes
from nothing to more
nothing, oh
my head can't bear the
weight of all
that I got in my skull

a spider sits
dead on my wall
his body sticks to the paint
and never falls
the day gets away
and the flies gather 'round me
and they burrow under my skin

and you don't have to die
you don't have to die
you don't have to die
you don't have to die
cause god she will protect you
she'll make you good and right
and you will go to heaven
but you won't have to die

the light always sneaks
away from me
and the nights always see
the kinds of things
that are inside of me
stepped on flowers
and birds with torn off wings

I try to think about
your naked body
in bed next to me
it is the only
thing that helps me sleep
it's the only thing that gives me any peace


You've never thought
about the things I've thought about
god will make you better if you let her do it now.
