If I Reach

[Verse 1]
I wish I could heal
All the pain in the world
The stitches are tearing
One more crack and the dam will spill
I wish I could know
Whenever the fever comes
Head cooked like an egg
On the pavement
In the blazing
Arizona sun

[Chorus]
If you leave before me
Don’t you know
I won’t be far behind
If you make your peace
Before me
I won’t mind
Will you still decline
If I reach
Out my hand
To you

[Verse 2]
It’s hard to remember
How joy used to feel
Staring at the ceiling
Dreaming
Pretending
Happiness is real
It’s all an illusion
We’re made to kill and eat and fuck
There’s no heaven or hell waiting for us
When we punch the clock

[Chorus]
If you leave before me
Don’t you know
I won’t be far behind
If you make your peace
Before me
I won’t mind
Will you still decline
If I reach
Out my hand
To you
