Heart Up On A Mantle

in the reflection of an urn i see your trophies

all the things that you've won you've left behind

put my heart up on the mantle, and i'll lay down fine  

but love is forever, right? so why...                  



in the hour you were born you had good timing

thats what you told me when you heard my story

when we found out we were born on the very same day    

but if i have good timing..why..                        



why'd you leave early?                    

we've always gone everywhere together

so if i tie this rope to mend it

i'm not the one whos guilty            

i'm just trying to climb to heaven      



i'm only just trying to catch up            

before you forget that i exist

cause i call for you late at night

and you can't seem to hear me from so far  



are you reaching through the gates screaming for me

did they stick a bag over your head and drag you to eden

well eves got an apple in her hand while in mines' a heart bleeding

i know theres always fresh fruit..and..



i fear i've been rotting



withering to stay sinse you left forever

for a taste of heaven early

i thought you had the flavor already

reach out i want to climb to heaven



and if a giant garden comes with it

i don't need the city no more

cause i walk for you late at night

and you can't seem to come out in the dark



in a dim image off an urn i see my losses

all the things it holds i hold inside

put my heart up on the mantle, and it'll really show

all that you've achieved..so why..



why'd you leave and leave trophies?

to tell stories for your ego?

why didn't you let me come with you

and leave my heart up on the mantle

right up there beside you

right up there beside you



don't you love me, honey?
