[00:20.10] |
Till death do us apart, and it didz |
[00:22.50] |
Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun, |
[00:24.95] |
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[00:28.87] |
On our lives we nourished |
[00:30.37] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[00:32.47] |
We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[00:34.97] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[00:37.57] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[00:39.77] |
In your last breath you told me, that you had to go |
[00:42.62] |
Cause it pained you so, |
[00:43.86] |
Oh I loved you so much so |
[00:45.71] |
Was I selfish to hold on, |
[00:47.61] |
And cling on to your body that hosts a soul |
[00:50.07] |
That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage |
[00:52.47] |
And you became eagerly what I wanted to be |
[00:55.12] |
You the person to leave, I the person |
[00:57.22] |
To see off another best friend to land's end |
[01:00.21] |
I watched grown men moan, and women weep |
[01:02.81] |
As you quietly descended six feet deep |
[01:05.41] |
But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes |
[01:08.12] |
A gift from god, returned to sender |
[01:10.53] |
Though I like to pretend that this never happened |
[01:13.07] |
I can turn around and see you laughing |
[01:15.28] |
But the fact is you could never practice |
[01:17.53] |
Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield |
[01:20.19] |
Endless field of shards of glass |
[01:22.14] |
This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast |
[01:25.88] |
First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes |
[01:28.73] |
And then a mountain of prayers unheard |
[01:30.83] |
'Till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below |
[01:34.39] |
Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith |
[01:38.20] |
I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet |
[01:40.76] |
Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed |
[01:43.46] |
Or alone on the road with nobody to hold |
[01:45.81] |
When the pouring rain is too much to bear |
[01:48.30] |
It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care |
[01:50.60] |
Till death do us apart, and it did |
[01:53.01] |
Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun, |
[01:55.75] |
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[01:59.56] |
On our lives we nourished |
[02:01.06] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[02:03.26] |
We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[02:05.76] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[02:08.26] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[02:21.31] |
Now I hit this stage in honor of you, |
[02:23.46] |
How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view |
[02:25.96] |
No more stress for rent, or to make ends |
[02:28.67] |
Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy |
[02:31.22] |
I can hide behind lens that block the UV |
[02:33.67] |
Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky |
[02:36.36] |
The toll for the bridge is rising |
[02:38.16] |
Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning |
[02:40.62] |
Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off |
[02:44.47] |
On the runway, scoping out the window |
[02:47.01] |
The moisture covers the sight though |
[02:49.16] |
Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist |
[02:53.47] |
Trying to paint a dream you woke from, |
[02:55.27] |
Chasing the departed |
[02:56.77] |
We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest |
[03:00.57] |
What I thought was a stream is now an ocean |
[03:03.22] |
No such thing as an extreme to show devotion |
[03:06.82] |
To your craft, which I didn't know the half |
[03:08.87] |
Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft |
[03:11.58] |
And a whiplash, all in reverse |
[03:13.18] |
Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone |
[03:18.60] |
And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun |
[03:22.00] |
By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up |
[03:24.60] |
Well I second that and I reckon that you tried |
[03:27.15] |
So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth, |
[03:29.40] |
And the first flight out of town, into the mist |
[03:31.75] |
Till death do us apart, and it did |
[03:34.31] |
Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun, |
[03:36.76] |
Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[03:40.77] |
On our lives we nourished |
[03:41.97] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[03:44.31] |
We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[03:46.92] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[03:49.32] |
your smile is the only thing that shines |
[03:57.87] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[03:59.73] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[04:02.32] |
Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries |
[04:04.72] |
Or a random hand picks it instantly |
[04:07.17] |
Life is art, a miracle for all to believe, |
[04:09.82] |
I must tell you that you lived beautifully |
