lyrics

Broken angel in hospital sheets,
plastic tubes and strobing machines.
And somewhere, someone’s singing “Amazing Grace”
as I hide my face.
And oblivion may have been dark and deep,
but I had promises to keep
of warmer words
and sweeter songs to sing.

But in the end there wasn’t enough time.
And I can’t say, this time, I’m doing fine.
But that’s fine.

Because I know, one day, I’ll head down to the ocean
to wash the cemetery mud off of my shoes,
while putting words to songs of resurrection.
Because what you have, one day, you’re bound to lose,
but that don’t mean it won’t come back to you.

And so we put these words aside,
store them up for some better time,
and look to the heavens for some unavoidable sign,
for the stars to align.
But astrology is fantasy, that story we all want to read,
where the hero saves the day again.
But sometimes, stories just
end.

And in the end there wasn’t much to say.
All the words were hollow anyway.
But that’s okay.

Because I swear, someday I’ll head down to the ocean
to wash the cemetery mud off of my shoes,
while putting words to songs of reincarnation,
like “what you have, one day you’re bound to lose,
but that don’t mean it won’t come back to you.”

“Maybe tomorrow,” we say, “when the money shows up
or the stress goes away.”
We say, “Maybe tomorrow we’ll get things done.”
Until tomorrow doesn’t come.

And in the end, there won’t be much to say.
Won’t feel much like talking anyway,
but that’s okay.

Because I swear, today, I’m heading down to the ocean
to wash the cemetery mud off of my shoes,
while putting words to songs of resurrection,
like “what you have, one day, you’re bound to lose,
but that don’t mean it won’t come back to you.”
That don’t mean it won’t come back to you.
