Illinois - Cinders

Here are the woods where you would hide

From everyone you would avoid

They’ve been cut down into paper

For some school in Illinois

Here is your car you used to drive

Died in the wreck to keep you alive

You’ve got angels looking after you

And you’re begging them

Don’t leave the room

'Cause I still need you

And I will pull through

I’ll be okay, won’t you stay?

Don’t leave the room, no

Fighting back the urge to yell

You tell your friends you’re doing swell

Your journal disagrees

And your peers, oh they don’t believe you

You’re not alone in this pool you’re swimming

The lifeguard will keep you from drowning

You’re not alone in this pool you’re swimming

The lifeguard will keep you afloat

Don’t leave the room

'Cause I still need you

And I will pull through

I’ll be okay, won’t you stay?

Don’t leave the room, no

You were right there next to me

I wasn’t ever next to you

You’re not alone in this pool you’re swimming

The lifeguard will keep you from drowning

You’re not alone in this pool you’re swimming

The lifeguard will keep you from drowning

You’re not alone in this pool you’re swimming
