Taxi Cab

I wanna fall inside your ghost

And fill up every hole inside my mind

And I want everyone to know

That I am half a soul

Divided

Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away

Either way you're by my side until my dying days

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

I said, "Don't be afraid."

I said, "Don't be afraid."

We're going home.

I wanna strip myself of breath

A breathless beast of death I've made for you

A mortal writing piece of song

Will help me carry on

But these you heard

Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away

Either way you're by my side until my dying days

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

I said, "Don't be afraid."

I said, "Don't be afraid."

We're going home.

So the hearse ran out of gas

A passenger purse and grabbed a map

And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past

And checked his watch and grabbed a cab

A beautifully planned taxi cab

A cab, had it cleared out back

And two men started to unpack

Driving once again

But now this time there were three men

And then I heard one of them say

"I know the night will turn to gray

I know the stars will start to fade

When all the darkness fades away

We had to steal him from his fate

So he could see another day

Then I cracked open my box

Someone must have picked the lock

A little light revealed the spot

Where my fingernails had fought

Then I pushed it open more,

Pushing up against the door

Then I sat up off the floor

And found the brother we're searching for

Then there were three men up front

All I saw were backs of heads

And then I asked them am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead

And then one turned around to say,

"We're driving toward the morning sun

Where all your blood is washed away

And all you did will be undone."

I said, "Don't be afraid."
