Love, Robot - Avium Lyrics
I need to start this off by letting you know that this isn’t my story to tellAnd from this point on the words I speak are from the mouth of somebody elseIt was pineapple of the Friday nights spent in the living room inOf the house I grew up inBut I could tell with every call on my mother’s phoneThat something was differentAnd then she told me what happenedThey had to break intoThe door through her living room‘Cause she lived aloneWhen she had the strokeAnd she had been on the hardwood floor for daysBefore anybody got through the door andShe had just turned 75Which is still too young to have to fight for lifeAnd before long, before the strokeThere was no signThat this was the way that it would goAlthough her body was agingHer heart was younger than most of the family’sThat’s why this was such a surpriseBut we know who wins the fight between body and mindI thought, “this can’t be possible”On the way to the hospital‘Cause if I had known that she had a strokeMaybe I could’ve called and stopped it allI could’ve come by, and said helloInstead I had no clueOf the things she was going throughAnd as I sat at homeShe tried to grab the phoneBut her body couldn’t handle the wayShe picked herself upBut then her legs were shakingShe pulled the phone cordClean out of the wallAs I sat beside the hospital bedAnd I wondered all the thingsThat went through your headCold and aloneWith the screen door openAnd no salvation in sightAnd for four daysYou fought through the nightAs everybody carried onWith their livesThe neighbours were outsideAnd the mailman came to the doorBut with valient attempts to create noiseYou were failed by your weak voiceAnd where was IAs the sun rose and sun setIf there ever was a timeThat you needed GodIt was thenAnd I can’tBegin to imagineThe hopelessnessTurn on the lightTurn on the lightDon’t give up the fightGive up the fightTurn on the lightTurn on the lightThis can’t be rightThis can’t be right
