Blue October — Voice of a Friend

[Verse 1] Light the fire in this castle And watch it burn into a glow By the river fear of quite sincere There's a draw bridge life support And there's a plank we'll have to crawl upon But dare not look below Where the water scene is crystal clean And the clouds are raining snow [Pre-Chorus] So Hush hush baby There's a lot of other ways to choke We're in the freak show now And we're dealing with a mind of its own When too many worlds collide I'd like to think it would be good if we talked I ask you to not leave my side I can't, man This is quicksand alone [Chorus] So I ask you through the voice of a friend (Drugs) "Why don't you stay with me?" Through the voice of a friend "And why don't you stay?" [Verse 2] We're a submarine submerging Yeah, we're simply smiling at the earth We're sending roses to the loved ones Who had a hand in our rebirth But still another day I'll cling to you For faint directions home Where we all will sit with open arms To try to block the rocks we've thrown [Pre-Chorus] So Hush hush baby There's a lot of other ways to choke We're in the freak show now And we're dealing with a mind of its own When too many worlds collide I'd like to think it would be good if we talked I ask you to not leave my side I can't, man This is quicksand alone When too many worlds collide I'd like to think it would be good if we talk I ask you to not leave my side Don't leave my side at all [Chorus] I ask you through the voice of a friend (Drugs) "Why don't you stay with me?" Through the voice of a friend "Why don't you stay? Yeah stay with me." [Bridge] Oh oh oh oh oh (x2) Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh (x3) Oh [Chorus] Trough the voice of a friend (Drugs) "Why don't you stay with me?" Through the voice of a friend "Why don't you stay with me?" [Outro] Oh (Drugs) Please why don't you stay with me? God, you're my voice of a friend! So why don't you stay? With me (x2)
