Lyrics

I hope that this all helps you out.
I hope that this season of doubt washes clean.
I hope that this all helps you out.
I hope that the demons scream loud as they leave.

Ch: Otherwise why, why why?
Otherwise why did I come here at all?
And why don't I sleep anymore?
Oh just lend me your pills and your dreams.

I hope that this all helps you out.
I hope that this violent drought meets the shore.
I hope that you liars scream loud,
Recalling your names 'til they're shameless, restored.

Ch.

Br: Oh, here's to you, black and blue angels, without a home,
To you, angels, homeless and roaming,
To you, as you flee from my wide-open hand,
I am sorry I held you so long.
I am sorry I held you so long.
[Fly away, fly away home. Fly, fly, fly.]
[Fly away, fly away home. Fly, fly, fly.]

Ch.
Br./Out
