Atlas (Like It's Easy)

I'm awake with the lights off
In a place I should recognize
The posphenes my last weapon
Against the encroaching dark
There's something I must confess
I don't think that I'm
Ready for the rest of it
I'm asking, tell me how
To love and to bleed
Without setting fire to the house
Without being too much, too weird
Please, tell me I have chance
To live
Like it's easy
Like I'm not fighting god
Like my back wasn't made
To carry the world
Why do I always stop
Running before my legs give out
Why can't I crumble
Be done, be gone
Why do I care so much
Why not tear my heart out
Feed it to the black dogs
Why does my soul still shout
For heaven, redemption
Forgiveness for my sins
Still waiting for a father
To tell me it's fine
To live
Like it's easy
Like I'm not fighting god
Like my back wasn't made
To carry the world
No one left to watch
Over me I'm
just driving around
Chasing ghosts that I'll never see
One more shot at this
Dream life I wanted
But I know I don't
Deserve it
I'm awake with the lights off
In a place I should recognize
But I'm alone and I'm lost
To the darkness inside
Of me and I don't want
To sort through your ashes
So I'll go and I'll look
For another way
To live
Like it's easy
Like I'm not fighting god
Like my back wasn't made
To carry the world
And I'll fight god
If I have to
I'm sick of carrying
The weight of his world

The hearts of lovers
Are filled with fire
But I refuse to burn
Oh-oh
I'll light a candle
I'll build a chapel
To let you rest
To let you know
That
I will not trade
My wings for yours
And I won't
Let go
And if I have to be
Stranded I'll choose
The way
That I go
'Cause I won't forget
Your easy smiles
Or your shadows
In the morning light
The taste of the
Cheap wine you buy
Or the feeling
Of your skin on mine
'Cause I'm a lover
And he's a fighter
God of the lyre
And the beautiful
His lips like churches
His eyes an abyss
But I refuse to drown
In what I cannot hold
I will not trade
My wings for yours
And I won't
Let go
And if I have to be
Stranded I'll choose
The way
That I go
'Cause I won't forget
Where it was I learned
The melody
Of my own laughter
And maybe the
Best sound I've heard
Wasn't something
That I had to earn
See
You can't decide
If it was worth it
To kiss the sunlight
So
Let me light your night
With melting wax
And without a fight
I will not trade
My wings for yours
And I won't
Let go
And if I have to be
Stranded I'll choose
The way
That I go
I won't forget
The may your mouth
Wraps around
My name
If we're not in love
If it's not romance
Well that
Is not a shame

Care for Someone
02:39

There are days
When I have nothing to say
When the sunshine fades to grey
When I just stand in the way
Of everybody
And I'm sorry that I ask
For such impossible tasks
I just wanted some tea
You said
Hey
Don't look so glum now
Here is food
And here is shelter in my arms
You made it sound so
Easy
To care for someone
There are days
When I feel like cellophane
Crumpled and lost in the rain
Have you every felt this pain
Where you feel so small
And nobody knows you're home
And nobody knows you're cold
And nobody sees
You said
Hey
Don't look so glum now
Here is food
And here is shelter in my arms
You made it sound so
Easy
To care for someone
That day
I wasn't feeling well
I won't say it was hell
I was but a shell of myself
I
Had people lie to me
Had people step on me
Had people look right
Through me
I shouted I love you's
I'd do anything for you's
How can you call it abuse
When they don't realize
Maybe they didn't hear me
Maybe it was too windy
But when I sat next to you
You shared your salad
You said
Hey
Don't look so glum now
Here is food
And here is shelter in my arms
You made it sound so
Easy
To care for someone
You said
Hey
Don't look so glum now
Here is food
And here is shelter
Can you believe
How is easy it is
To
Care for someone
