A Textbook Tragedy - Lincoln City lyrics

I plead dont wake me up leave my head in the clouds as the world slips through my fingers I cant remember being whole before I wouldnt wish this on my enemies and in the aftermath my eyes will see father dont blame yourself anymore its over forgive and let it be I felt myself let go and struggled just to breathe my worst fears paralyzed me give me back one more day I'll stand with the ocean at my knees and let the wind fingerprint me I can feel your arms around me I know you'll always be there the nights so endless with shame those thoughts I dont want to remember you know I built this temple for you dont burn it until you are ready you gave me strength to hold the world but I couldnt hold myself together now that day is far behind me but in my heart you'll live forever Ive stood in the cold so many nights and let the rains baptise me If you stare right into the clouds Youll steal me in serenity everyday before I put my head to sleep We're on the beach in lincoln city After the dust had cleared I saw that you had never left me Just as lost as I was that year No one would ever take me when I look into the crowd every night I watch, I watch you sing every word
