What Sarah Said

And it came to me then
That every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes, in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409

Then I rationed my breath
As I said to myself
That I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me

...Away from me...

Amongst the vending machines
And year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind
That our memories depend on a faulty camera in our mind
I knew that you were a truth that I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
Then I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the T. V. entertained itself

'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes round and everyone lifts their head
I'm thinking of what Sarah said...

...Love is watching someone die

So who's gonna watch you die
So who's gonna watch you die
