| 专辑 | The Lack Long After |
| I used to listen to my life, | |
| I was so put together, | |
| I chose what I wanted to be in that age of chasing sand, | |
| The age of believing in everything, | |
| But I couldn't save you, | |
| I couldn't save what was taken away, | |
| And I'm still singing, and you still can't stay. | |
| You "loved life," and those words have lasted, | |
| I just wish I would have had ears for more than what you said | |
| Because I still feel the lack long after. | |
| Such a light body, such a quiet gait leaving behind the weight of the world, | |
| I'll always think it was too early to lose your shine, | |
| I guess the means that ends us means nothing, | |
| I just hope it's the peace we all need, | |
| Because I could love and drown in your God damned smile lines, | |
| But I think I burnt up watching you rallying to stay alive, | |
| And I guess that's fine. | |
| It seems we all get sick, | |
| We all die in some no name hospital with the same colored walls, | |
| And I guess that's fine, | |
| But I want to swallow, I want to stomach, I want to live. | |
| It's been a rough while and some days are worse than others, | |
| There's no proper way to feel, no mirth, no levity, no amazing grace, | |
| Just a flame on a lake floating away, | |
| I can't let you lay, | |
| I want you to know, I'm learning patience against my will, | |
| I want you to know, I’ll get by, always barely scraping | |
| With just a hunger, with just a heart apart, | |
| It's a hell of a thing. |
