The Weeks - The Ballad of Tonto Higgins lyrics

And I will stay for myself And you can leave if you think it would help Oh, I could stay here all alone I'll close the blinds, I'll lock the door, and unplug the phone Your broken heart, I'll try to mend With cigarettes and self regret I'll write til then Or I could k** myself, if you think that would help Or I could write a note to beg for hope from God himself But that won't help, no that won't help me I could write all night with heat until my hand bleeds And I will fade, I'll fade away And I will write until the end of everyday I'll fade away, I'll fade away, I'll fade away I'll fade away And I will walk blindfolded through the street In hope that God guides me from horns and honking cars that speed I will jump off the highest floor And hope that something soft will break my fall I won't hurt you no more I will sing until my throat it bleeds Oh, but I'm pretty sure this voice will be the d**h of me But that won't help, no that won't help me What's the point of singing if no one is listening And I'll fade, I'll fade away And I will sing until the end of everyday I'll fade away, I'll fade away, I'll fade away I'll fade away Yeah, I hope when your gone, whatever be the cause that you'll move on Well you can sell my things and keep my mother's ring Well you can curse my name, spit on my grave, or f** for fame You can f** for fame You can curse my name Or you spit on my grave Well you can f** for fame Yeah, I hope when your gone, whatever be the cause that you'll move on Well you can sell my things and keep my mother's ring Well you can curse my name, spit on my grave, or f** for fame You can f** for fame You can curse my name Or you spit on my grave Well you can f** for fame But that won't help, no that won't help me I could write all night with heat until my hand bleeds And I will fade, I'll fade away And I will write until the end of everyday I'll fade away, I'll fade away, I'll fade away I'll fade away, I'll fade away, I'll fade away I'll fade away
