"Well goodnight, son", was all he said, it was routine and simple And I played it out inside my head 'til I was ghastly feeble And the morning came with the morning rain, hit the rooftop with stern disdain Brought so much pain, no sun shiny day, dawn did not bring her beginning Eternal black fits a tragedy, too dark for adjusted eyes to see All they had to do was speak my name To calm the lion, make him tame Were you as wild as they say, it's what they say But I don't really know what to believe 'Cause if I really was so crippling Well, did you have the heart to complete the cliché? Did you follow me into the evergreen? Was it you sounding from the trees? Or was it just the breeze manipulating leaves, solidifying wishful thinking? But I know you were there when I was d**hly scared of how close I really got to leaping You put your hand on me, said, "Life is just a dream, and if you love me, you will sleep I know I've hurt you so badly, but I only ask you of one thing" All they had to do was speak my name To calm the lion, make him tame Were you as wild as they say, it's what they say But I don't really know what to believe 'Cause if I really was so crippling Well, did you have the heart to complete the cliché? They say you did but everybody makes mistakes And their love makes up for all that has been lost So I guess it's not as aphotic as I thought And I'll meet you in Costa Rica Open my eyes, pura vida Pura vida (I've never been one to forgive) All they had to do was speak my name (Therefore I'm not one to forget) To calm the lion, make him tame (But this leaves me indifferent) Were you as wild as they say, it's what they say (Because I've learned a lot about mistake) But I don't really know what to believe (And reason behind decisions made) 'Cause if I really was so crippling Well, did you have the heart to complete the cliché? They say you did but everybody makes mistakes I understand but this one's slowly k**ing me But it can't help to consume myself directing blame So I am taking what's been done, washing it clean Excusing my entire life on a bad dream This hour was for you Now it's over and through Oh, there is nothing left No, but the universe around my neck
