Hello 04:11
Hello Your letter did not find me well Cause I’m still broken by your spell And so I listen again to the melody That once was anything but this wall between you and me Just float back to the top And get the smiles on You’ve got to work through this Even when the world’s weight piles on Hello Your letters did not find me well The thought was nice but I’m still a broken shell And so I listen again to the melody That was once anything but this wall between you and me

I don’t know why you look for answers When the solution is so clear You bathe yourself in these waters And I insist that it’s out of fear It’s like I’m always telling you: You know Jesus loves you, but not like I do You don’t have to eat my flesh to see what I can do I don’t know why you still believe I guess it’s easier to go with the flow But it’s so obvious if you just think I’ve given you all you need to know It’s like I’m always telling you: You know Jesus loves you, but not like I do You don’t have to drink my blood to see what I can do It’s like I’m always telling you And I swear that every word is true You know Jesus loves you, but not like I do You don’t have to eat my flesh to see what I can do You know Jesus loves you, but not like I do You don’t have to drink my blood to see what I can do

As I’ve said before, there’s nothing left to do Counting the days while I pine for you And while the weeks will pass me by Well-being could be no further from my mind Oh, woe is me… Oh, woe is me… I won’t admit that this can be used Salt the wound, and long be it my muse I’ll hold the torch, though it may be wrong But at least I’ll write another dozen songs Oh, woe is me… Oh, woe is me… To love and have lost… Oh, woe is me…

I know I have no right to reach out tonight That you needn’t hear any more of my plight But I just need to make it exceptionally clear Exactly what you have done to me, my dear And now that I have your attention I knew if I went to you with what I have to say I could already see the venom due my way But we need a win for this to be fight And I just need to be the one who is right And now that I have your attention Let’s not say a word that we will regret Cause the tree will remember what the axe is sure to forget Intrusive thoughts of you Course through my spine Whenever I remember But I tell myself I’m fine Just bury, bury, bury Til the anger loses sway Just bury, bury, bury Til all feeling goes away Before too long it returns to the front And I find myself back at the start Reveling in this rage anew The only way to protect the parts Of my heart that still remain I find it easier to explain That this is your doing, and only you Than accept that I played my part too And now that I have your attention (Draw it away from me) And now that I have your attention (Pretend that I’m guilt-free) Let’s not say a word that we will regret Cause the tree will remember what the axe is sure to forget Now let’s not say a word that we will regret Cause the tree will remember what the axe is sure to forget The axe is sure to forget
