Savior Mode

To the great unknown
Before you hit the road
Have you searched within? Or inside?
I don’t really want to make you sad
And I would hate it if I made you uncomfortable
I'm in savior mode (you know)
So I’ll let you go

Swallowing my pride
You’re out the door
So I’ll spare you all my emotions this time
This time
Now that you might die
I find it selfish to pain you with wanting closure
'Cause it’s closed, I know

Mr. Sacrifice, make it barely known
But can it still remain inside?
When you leave for the voices calling you home
Will I grieve? Or will I miss anything at all?
I don’t even have a photograph of us happy and healthy to hold onto
I'm in savior mode (you know)
So I’ll let you go

Swallowing my pride
You’re out the door
So I’ll spare you all my emotions this time
This time
Now that you might die
I find it selfish to pain you with wanting closure
'Cause it’s closed, I know

If there was a moment to lay it all down
(I’ll stay so quiet now)
It’s now, right now
(I'll stay so quiet now)
But I just can’t see it coming out my mouth
(I can’t let it out, what’s the point of now?)
Oh, well
(Keep the feeling down, swallowing again)

Swallowing my pride
You’re out the door
So I’ll spare you all my emotions this time
This time
Now that you might die
I find it selfish to pain you with wanting closure
'Cause it’s closed, I know
