Edward James Almost

lyrics

Edward, why must you abstain from having any fun?
Edward, why would you much rather think of years to come?
When your standing in the sun
You're not much use to anyone
When the only thought that runs
Through your mind is sunblock.

Edward, did you ever think of getting out of bed?
Edward, you have far too many thoughts inside your head.
With eyelids made of lead,
Your mind all thin and spread,
Why not just be dead
Or why not start with sleeping?

Edward, you could use some natural light once in awhile
Edward, I know it's bright but it can brighten up your smile.
It's burning deep and wild
Like when you were a child
Nothing was ever mild
Despite its repetition.

Edward, one foot in the grave is no way to begin.
Edward, if not for me try for all of your kin.
Waiting for a grin
To interrupt your sin
Blue lights shining dim
Won't solve anything.

Edward, you don't have to worry about why anything exists.
Edward, all you have to know is that you would be missed.
But if ignorance is bliss,
Bring on that still kiss.
A stake in a whitened fist
Would that be it?
