It Means What It Means

I’m crying on the train again
I’m officially that guy
And I like all the conductors
Cus they never ask me why
As if it were one reason
And not everything in sight
The beauty of the darkness
And the terror of the light
It’s the way the day is breaking
It’s the way the days go by
It’s the way that it’s so hard to live
And so good to be alive
It’s the way that even though they both change all the time
The river’s always mirroring the sky
And you don’t have to know
You don’t have to explain
You don’t have to be known
Don’t have to give it a name
And you don’t have to worry about how it seems
Nothing stands still
It means what it means
I walk home through the doorway
Saying “babe, I had a realization today”
And you’re moving between piles of magic things
“You say that everyday” you say
It’s the way that when you’re gone
I mean, you’re really gone
And nothing goes away
And you don’t have to know
You don’t have to be sure
Don’t miss the healing
In search of the cure
Try not to worry about how it seems
Try not to hurry
It means what it means

Help Me Die

Could you watch with me an hour
From my lonesome wooden tower
Be with me in all my grief
My aching relief
Could you feel with me my life
This holy broken flash of light
Cus that will help me die.
That will help me die
When it comes time, I don’t want to fight
So please don’t even try
Just watch with me a while
Help me say goodbye
That will help me die
That will help me die
