Salt Lake City

Hold on to me,
Don’t loosen your grip.
Cause you know I’m bound to leave,
Bags packed to go,
I hope you know that
I hope your organs fail you before I do,
I hope your lungs run out of air before your dreams run out of truth,
I hope your heart explodes before you watch me turn human.
I hope you shiver from the cold before I let you sink,
I hope your body gives up before all your joy leaves,
and on that day you close your eyes, I hope you don’t feel a thing.
Take all the time need, don’t worry about me.
Because my rage has been my air to breathe, filling up my lungs.
I just don’t have the strength,
The strength you really need.
I hope your organs fail you before I do,
I hope your lungs run out of air before your dreams run out of truth,
I hope your heart explodes before you watch me turn human.
I hope you shiver from the cold before I let you sink,
I hope your body gives up before all your joy leaves,
and on that day you close your eyes, I hope you don’t feel a thing.
