lyrics

Since I was 2 or 3
A drink you made for me
One of fearful sleep
And worn hypocrisy
On my wrists were strings
Pre-made wedding rings
Input spiritual cheats
Until a man you see
And when you shaved your face
And I couldn’t place just who you were
A man of faith, but grace has finally just erased all the things you used to say

They’re dead in my youth

There’s a complication
In our conversations
I’ve got preconceived notions
But it’s a thief who made ‘em
Slowly lay me down
In some gentle reason
Read me tough statistics
I think my spirit needs ‘em
On that bug lit porch where we first met
I think I caught the restlessness
Your words were stuck inside my chest
The narrow path and the cigarette

You’re dead to my truth

And then I dreamed you gave back all the things
You took from my young brain, 13
Snapped and made the flowers sing
Cleaned the harsh and awful scenes

But now I know as I wake up
I won’t fill false and fragile cups
With regrets of a better us
Those moments I can never touch

And if I’m bent then I’ll bend back
I’m cracked but I can live with that
I’ll keep a stack of hopeful facts
Pray for peace I know I lack

I won’t forget the things you did
My inner kid is scared as shit
But today I want to live
Give a damn and I’ll forgive
