Father doesn't smoke but he's still all black inside

Mother's words still burn her throat, alcohol and pesticide

I slept beside a boy with terror in his eyes

I tried to calm his demons but he burned me to get high

I hope my blood's still on his sheets

I hope my voice still haunts his dreams

I'm holding out for medicine to hold me while I sleep

Love songs make me sick and I write them all the time

Holding candles to my skin to fuel the storm inside

Tidal waves to drown me, hurricanes to make me blind

Baby, make it easy

I've come this far for you

When I ran, I tried to run to you

But when you lied when you said you'd always tell the truth

And you killed yourself to win the race

But the finish line has turned to smoke

And we all got ahead

Baby, make it easy

We don't want to cry for you

Father doesn't smoke but he's still all black inside

Mother's words still burn her throat, alcohol and pesticide

And if i miss you all my life

I'll carry your flag and the sun will rise

Baby, make it easy

I'm not gonna die for you

And if you find peace at the bottom of the sea

We'll sleep each night by the shore so you feel less alone

Baby, make it easy

No one's gonna die for you
