(verse) Here are some instructions
on how easily to find;
find yourself sitting
beside your darkness of mind.

Take off the paper clothes,
remove your heart from chest.
Leave behind only
what'll feed the pain the best.

Play now a song
from a playlist marked "For Death".
Turn high the volume
and take your last breathe.

(chorus)
These are the notes I write.
These are the words of song.
They all lead me down,
under the pathway of dawn.

They are all the words
The ones stuck in my head
I can never speak one,
so I'll bleed them out instead.

(verse)
When you find yourself weeping
from the hurt you feel inside
speak the word "friend",
and let hold of your knife.

Even if the cuts
fill you with life;
You're bleeding all your friends,
along with your wife.

Take a moment now.
Turn down the volume, son.
God is right here
And the day is surely won.

(chorus)
These are the notes I write.
These are the words of song.
They all lead me down,
under the pathway of dawn.

They are all the words
The ones stuck in my head
I can never speak one,
so I'll bleed them out instead.

(verse)
Do you feel yourself now,
in a huddle, along with friends?
Do you remember the way
you use to smile at them?

Cling tight to hope,
So the pain will start to mend.
Reach out for love,
and God will bring a friend.

Now sleep if you can,
but open up your eyes.
No one drowns with friends.
We can all hear your cries.

(chorus)
These are the notes I write.
These are the words of song.
They all lead me down,
along the pathway of dawn.

They are all the words
The ones stuck in my head
Be real and speak "love".
It's just what God would have said.
