lyrics

You can take my eyes and my heart.
You can take my liver and my lungs.
You can take the keys, the deed, and take over my home.

I need an ambulance
9212 West 3rd Street Los Angeles
This is not an accident
"Who is the victim?"
I am.

"Seven days, God created the world. In seven seconds, I shattered mine."

I'm gonna push you to the edge.
Sickened by these insults and my own test.
"You are surrounded by so much beauty, but you can't see it.
Do you think that's fair?"

Hesitate, then recite seven names, seven lives.
"We have a plan. Do what you promised me."

Let me tell you a story about a boy who dreamt of flying.
He jumped and fell from a tree and broke his arm,
Then tricked and fell in love with a girl who had a broken wing.
She only dreamt of running without worrying

What if she had time?
What if we got married?
What if we had children?
What if the pager beeped?

Flashback to a car crash.
Selfish, reckless, and distracted.
In the blood and glass,
The bright new diamond was the only thing intact.

I left while she slept
"I'll explain it all tomorrow," I said.
But with her blood type, doctors gave her 3-5%
So I filled the tub with ice and jellyfish

You can take my eyes and my heart.
You can take my liver and my lungs.
You can take my kidneys, take the marrow from my bones.
