Thought you found the holy one They take a little, she takes none It's just a frontage after all Oh how easy do they fall One by one, and over again They shed a little of their skin First you mingle, Then you dance Pull it to a safe distance It pours outside You need a ride Wish you hadn't gone inside Fumble for the side hand door You don't want to stay no more The handles broke, The light is low Break too late and off it goes Falling forward from the edge Try to remember the words you read Don't want to know You tried too hard, they said But you never wanna go Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh And are your feet cold? They spread your ashes all And all across the snow Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh All the lights are shining through Hit you when you try to move Know the ending Know the start Know the place where it falls apart The red herrings not fooling you Tricked you last time before you knew Barreling towards the bitter end The ****** comes You lose a friend Growing up and dressing down Learn the truth to shut your mouth It's not what all you'd thought it be Cuts your heart so gradually Sew it up and snip the thread Dry the tears they made you shed Hold the chair, Slip the noose Never forget who cut you loose Don't want to know You tried too hard, they said But you never wanna go Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh And are your feet cold? They spread your ashes all And all across the snow Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh Confidence dies A little every day You lose your way, I lose it too I wish I was back Safe inside instead But I'm at a funeral for a friend. Don't want to know You tried too hard, they said, But you never wanna go Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh And are your feet cold? They sorta your ashes all And all across the snow Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh

Death of a Friend
Thought you found the holy one They take a little, she takes none It's just a frontage after all Oh how easy do they fall One by one, and over again They shed a little of their skin First you mingle, Then you dance Pull it to a safe distance It pours outside You need a ride Wish you hadn't gone inside Fumble for the side hand door You don't want to stay no more The handles broke, The light is low Break too late and off it goes Falling forward from the edge Try to remember the words you read Don't want to know You tried too hard, they said But you never wanna go Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh And are your feet cold? They spread your ashes all And all across the snow Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh All the lights are shining through Hit you when you try to move Know the ending Know the start Know the place where it falls apart The red herrings not fooling you Tricked you last time before you knew Barreling towards the bitter end The ****** comes You lose a friend Growing up and dressing down Learn the truth to shut your mouth It's not what all you'd thought it be Cuts your heart so gradually Sew it up and snip the thread Dry the tears they made you shed Hold the chair, Slip the noose Never forget who cut you loose Don't want to know You tried too hard, they said But you never wanna go Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh And are your feet cold? They spread your ashes all And all across the snow Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh Confidence dies A little every day You lose your way, I lose it too I wish I was back Safe inside instead But I'm at a funeral for a friend. Don't want to know You tried too hard, they said, But you never wanna go Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh And are your feet cold? They sorta your ashes all And all across the snow Way oh way oh oh oh Way oh oh oh Way oh
THIS IS NOT MY WORK. It is simply one of my favorite songs that holds a lot of meaning for me. THE CREDIT FOR THIS GOES TO THE AMAZING BAND TRAPDOOR SOCIAL. If you like this, you should go check them out. They're pretty freakin cool.
