[02:27.O5] |
On our lives we nourished |
[00:44.05] |
Till death do us apart, and it did |
[00:46.36] |
Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun |
[00:49.27] |
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[00:52.98] |
On our lives we nourished |
[00:54.68] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[00:56.75] |
We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[00:59.62] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[01:02.25] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[01:04.35] |
In your last breath you told me, that you had to go |
[01:07.37] |
Cause it pained you so |
[01:08.73] |
Oh I loved you so much so |
[01:09.96] |
Was I selfish to hold on |
[01:12.49] |
And cling on to your body that hosts a soul |
[01:15.01] |
That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage |
[01:17.46] |
And you became eagerly what I wanted to be |
[01:20.37] |
You the person to leave, I the person |
[01:22.81] |
To see off another best friend to land's end |
[01:25.15] |
I watched grown men moan, and women weep |
[01:28.31] |
As you quietly descended six feet deep |
[01:30.92] |
But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes |
[01:33.50] |
A gift from god, returned to sender |
[01:36.07] |
Though I like to pretend that this never happened |
[01:39.07] |
I can turn around and see you laughing |
[01:40.97] |
But the fact is you could never practice |
[01:43.30] |
Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield |
[01:45.90] |
Endless field of shards of glass |
[01:47.83] |
This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast |
[01:51.85] |
First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes |
[01:54.83] |
And then a mountain of prayers unheard |
[01:56.97] |
'till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below |
[02:00.72] |
Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith |
[02:04.63] |
I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet |
[02:07.59] |
Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed |
[02:10.22] |
Or alone on the road with nobody to hold |
[02:12.67] |
When the pouring rain is too much to bear |
[02:15.21] |
It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care |
[02:18.07] |
Till death do us apart and it did |
[02:20.22] |
Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun |
[02:23.16] |
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[02:28.50] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[02:30.76] |
We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[02:33.55] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[02:36.04] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[03:10.12] |
Now I hit this stage in honor of you |
[03:12.43] |
How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view |
[03:15.03] |
No more stress for rent, or to make ends |
[03:17.75] |
Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy |
[03:20.36] |
I can hide behind lens that block the UV |
[03:22.89] |
Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky |
[03:25.75] |
The toll for the bridge is rising |
[03:27.69] |
Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning |
[03:30.07] |
Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off |
[03:34.05] |
On the runway, scoping out the window |
[03:36.54] |
The moisture covers the sight though |
[03:38.52] |
Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist |
[03:43.22] |
Trying to paint a dream you woke from |
[03:45.27] |
Chasing the departed |
[03:46.50] |
We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest |
[03:50.09] |
What I thought was a stream is now an ocean |
[03:53.59] |
No such thing as an extreme to show devotion |
[03:56.69] |
To your craft, which I didn't know the half |
[03:59.18] |
Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft |
[04:01.72] |
And a whiplash, all in reverse |
[04:04.58] |
Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone |
[04:08.50] |
And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun |
[04:12.08] |
By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up |
[04:15.07] |
Well I second that and I reckon that you tried |
[04:17.20] |
So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth |
[04:20.33] |
And the first flight out of town, into the mist |
[04:23.01] |
Till death do us apart and it did |
[04:24.98] |
Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun |
[04:28.22] |
Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[04:31.97] |
On our lives we nourished |
[04:33.61] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[04:35.24] |
We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[04:38.46] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[04:41.23] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[04:43.65] |
Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries |
[04:46.56] |
Or a random hand picks it instantly |
[04:49.07] |
Life is art, a miracle for all to see |
[04:51.65] |
I must tell you that you lived beautifully |
