Half step down

Tonight I'll stay awake long enough to stop breathing

 and I wonder how long it will take before I pass out drunk off night skies

 and lying on hills with wet grass below and blue black above-

 I will carry all the weights tonight

cause I keep remembering the day that you said you might go crazy

if you spent one more minute with me

I've been thinking about those days and I don't know-

 is one more minute going to kill you now?

Stop before I say too much-

so now I've been alone and it's been going but tomorrow might not come

if I don't let it so don't forget the mornings that we spent deep inside

our heads

staring at blank walls 'cause that's what counts

and I don't know but I'm trying to let you go

but I can't cut so well these strings I have around my neck

and I'm trying to let you know that I'm doing this by myself-

so now I've been alone and it's been going but tomorrow might not come

if I don't let it so don't forget the mornings that we spent deep inside

our heads

staring at blank walls 'cause that's what counts

and I don't know but I'm trying to let you go

but I can't cut so well these strings I have around my neck

and I'm trying to let you know that I'm doing this by myself-

so don't forget we sent letters to ourselves without words

 and it was just to remember

 just to remember

 just to remember

 just to remember those days that we spent in our heads.
