Everyone Dies

I've seen the way you sleep at night lonesome drifting in your bed
Some noise to dull the pounding of all the things that fill your head
And behind those weary irises, old familiar shadows creep
And they fill your rods and cones with little reasons you can't sleep

Look, I've read ahead and everyone dies tragically at the end
There's beauty disguised in the closing of an eye
And even uncut flowers will shrivel in time
But you can read by my light

The barest bones of what you need are pressed into your hand
And the castle walls you built so high are sinking in the sand
If silence is a stranger well other treasures might be too
Come by the welcome party that's waiting here for you

Look, I've read ahead and everyone dies tragically at the end
There's beauty disguised in the closing of an eye
And even uncut flowers will shrivel in time
But you can read by my light

I've seen the way you sleep at night lonesome drifting in your bed
Some noise to dull the pounding of all those things that fill your head

Look, I've read ahead and everyone dies tragically at the end
There's beauty disguised in the closing of an eye
And even wilting flowers recover sometimes
But you can read by my light
Oh, you can read by my light
