Chapter 13: The Hero Appears Lyrics - Lawrence Arms

the well went dry 

my blood thinned out 

i scrapped through 

a thousand layers 

of paint-like years 

the secret's in 

conjested grins sigh 

i'm trying to find places to breathe now 

and if this were a book 

i'd call this song the final chapter 

and if you read it 

you'd be laughin' 

if it could end right now 

the last lines would be 

my body jolted in 

and out of stolen soundwaves 

the world expands or shrinks 

on any given monday 

tuesday evening dyes a room blue 

friday's window has it's own view 

and if this were a book 

i'd call this song the final chapter 

and if you read it 

you'd be laughin' 

if it could end right now 

the last lines would be 

good friend 

how loud do you want life to shout her answers in your ear? 

she lights her streaming by on stiff necks 

connected prayers used to sign off things 

keep on counting them 

maybe hold your breath 

i'm trying to exhale you softly 

don't be so vein 

i'm not impressed in past-tense 

i don't do impressions 

the blood has dried 

(good friend, how loud do) 

now i can wash my hands with tears you cried 

(want life to shout her) 

if you could frame this feeling 

(good friend, how loud do) 

at night it would whisper to me 

good friend 

how loud do you want life to shout her answers in your ear?
