u lost me

Well you told me, "things have been so strange..."
then you shrugged and asked for a light for your cigarette
But your eyes, I saw them fill the empty spaces that your words left 
they said you saw some things and you were trying to forget

When those monsters hiding in our closets take the shapes of men
well, it gets hard to tell a claw from a helping hand 
But when you shut your eyes so tightly that you'll never even look under your bed
Well I can't help you walk if you refuse to stand 
 
And I'm dreaming of a better place
I hope you leave your nightmare someday
But if you want to hang the gods then you should find a better rope
Than the one you used to tie my hands away

Well it's been months since I have seen your face
and now that ghost that I gave up is just a silhouette
But my eyes they clouded up the day I found out you were dead
and though I tried my best for you I feel regret

But when those monsters hiding in our closets take the shapes of men
well, it's so hard to tell a claw from a helping hand
and you shut your eyes so tightly that you didn't see them crawl into your head
and whisper thoughts to take that knife and make it red 
(and that's just something that I'll never understand

I hope you're in a better place
and I hope I meet you up there someday
and if you want to hang the gods, I want to help you find hope
No I won't lose another friend this way
things have been so strange since you went away   
I can't let those monsters take my friends away
