[00:00.0]Deathbed - Relient K
[00:33.03]I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
[00:40.59]I can't believe this is the end
[00:54.86]But this is my deathbed
[01:00.22]I lie here alone
[01:04.96]If I close my eyes tonight
[01:10.81]I know I'll be home
[01:18.35]The year was 1941
[01:22.47]I was eight years old and far far too young
[01:26.74]To know that the stories of battles and glory
[01:30.54]Was a tale a kind mother made up for her son
[01:34.270004]You see
[01:35.09]Dad was a traveling preacher
[01:39.259995]Teaching the words of the teacher
[01:43.130005]But mother had sworn he ran off to the war
[01:47.2]And died there with honor somewhere on a beach there
[01:51.270004]But he left once to never return
[01:55.6]Which taught me that I should unlearn
[01:59.78]Whatever I thought a father should be
[02:03.22]I abandoned that thought like he abandoned me
[02:07.75]By 47 I was 14
[02:11.78]I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
[02:16.41]I smoked until I threw up yet I still lit em up for 30 more years
[02:23.34]Like a machine
[02:26.53]So right there you have it
[02:30.56]Now one filthy habit
[02:34.4]Is what got me where I am today
[02:39.17]I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
[02:45.48]I can't believe this is the end
[02:55.92]I can hear those sad memories still haunting me
[03:01.84]So many things I'd do again
[03:13.83]But this is my deathbed
[03:18.28]I lie here alone
[03:21.82]If I close my eyes tonight
[03:26.47]I know I'll be home
[03:30.56]Got married on my 21st
[03:35.05]8 months before my wife would give birth
[03:39.14]It's easier to be sure you love someone
[03:42.94]When her father inquires with the barrel of a gun
[03:47.55]The union was far from harmonious
[03:51.07]No two people could have been more alone than us
[03:55.44]The years would go by and she'd love someone else
[03:59.55]And I'd realized I hadn't been loved yet myself
[04:03.99]From there it's your typical speel
[04:07.35]Yeah if life was a highway I was drunk at the wheel
[04:11.95]I was helping the loose ends all fall apart
[04:16.14]Yeah I swear I was destined to fail
[04:19.4]And fail from the start
[04:22.49]I bowled about six times a week
[04:26.79]The bottle of beam kept the memories from me
[04:30.73]Our marriage had taken a seven ten split
[04:34.48]And along with my pride the ex wife took the kids
[04:39.27]I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
[04:45.45]I can't believe this is the end
[04:55.82]I can hear those sad memories still haunting me
[05:01.77]So many things I'd do again
[05:13.81]But this is my deathbed
[05:18.42]I lie here alone
[05:21.94]If I close my eyes tonight
[05:26.3]I know I'll be home
[05:30.58]I was so scared of jesus
[05:32.44]But he sought me out
[05:34.7]Like the cancer in my lungs
[05:36.81]Is killing me now
[05:38.74]And I've given up hope on the days I have left
[05:43.02]But I cling to the hope of my life in the next
[05:47.08002]Then jesus showed up said before we go up
[05:51.44]I thought that we might reminisce
[05:54.95]See one night in your life when you turned out the lights
[05:59.65]You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness
[06:05.32]You cried wolf with tears they soaked your fur
[06:11.19]The blood dripped from your fangs
[06:14.74]You said what have I done
[06:19.36]You loved that lamb with every sinful bone
[06:25.77]And there you wept alone
[06:29.59]Your heart was so contrite
[06:34.37]You said jesus please forgive me of my crimes
[06:42.36]Sanctify this withered heart of mine
[06:49.51]Stay with me until my life is through
[06:56.82]And on that day please take me home with you
[07:05.18]I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
[07:11.79]I can't believe this is the end
[07:23.11]I can hear you whisper to me it's time to leave
[07:29.82]You'll never be lonely again
[07:42.81]But this was my deathbed
[07:47.57]I died there alone
[07:51.52]When I closed my eyes tonight
[07:56.12]You carried me home
[10:01.66]I am the way follow me and take my hand
[10:11.18]And I am the truth embrace me and you'll understand
[10:20.13]And I am the light and through me you'll live again
[10:30.09]For I am love
[10:35.28]I am love
[10:45.15]I am
[10:50.23]Love
