[00:24.08] |
Till death do us apart, and it did |
[00:26.51] |
Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun |
[00:29.40] |
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[00:33.40] |
On our lives we nourished |
[00:34.78] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[00:36.89] |
We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[00:40.11] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[00:42.70] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[00:45.02] |
In your last breath you told me, that you had to go |
[00:48.01] |
Cause it pained you so |
[00:49.42] |
Oh I loved you so much so |
[00:50.72] |
Was I selfish to hold on |
[00:53.25] |
And cling on to your body that hosts a soul |
[00:55.74] |
That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage |
[00:58.49] |
And you became eagerly what I wanted to be |
[01:01.27] |
You the person to leave, I the person |
[01:03.48] |
To see off another best friend to land's end |
[01:06.57] |
I watched grown men moan, and women weep |
[01:09.40] |
As you quietly descended six feet deep |
[01:12.04] |
But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes |
[01:14.79] |
A gift from god, returned to sender |
[01:17.36] |
Though I like to pretend that this never happened |
[01:20.37] |
I can turn around and see you laughing |
[01:22.40] |
But the fact is you could never practice |
[01:24.69] |
Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield |
[01:27.52] |
Endless field of shards of glass |
[01:29.53] |
This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast |
[01:33.44] |
First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes |
[01:36.77] |
And then a mountain of prayers unheard |
[01:38.79] |
'till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below |
[01:42.68] |
Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith |
[01:46.51] |
I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet |
[01:49.38] |
Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed |
[01:52.11] |
Or alone on the road with nobody to hold |
[01:54.69] |
When the pouring rain is too much to bear |
[01:57.43] |
It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care |
[01:59.89] |
Till death do us apart and it did |
[02:02.58] |
Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun |
[02:05.40] |
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[02:09.46] |
On our lives we nourished |
[02:10.74] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[02:12.84] |
We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[02:16.06] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[02:18.73] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[02:30.67] |
Listen |
[02:31.80] |
Now I hit this stage in honor of you |
[02:34.52] |
How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view |
[02:37.45] |
No more stress for rent, or to make ends |
[02:40.19] |
Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy |
[02:42.77] |
I can hide behind lens that block the UV |
[02:45.48] |
Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky |
[02:48.35] |
The toll for the bridge is rising |
[02:50.24] |
Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning |
[02:53.04] |
Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off |
[02:56.82] |
On the runway, scoping out the window |
[02:59.70] |
The moisture covers the sight though |
[03:01.96] |
Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist |
[03:06.32] |
Trying to paint a dream you woke from |
[03:08.35] |
Chasing the departed |
[03:09.89] |
We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest |
[03:13.75] |
What I thought was a stream is now an ocean |
[03:16.98] |
No such thing as an extreme to show devotion |
[03:20.47] |
To your craft, which I didn't know the half |
[03:22.66] |
Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft |
[03:25.69] |
And a whiplash, all in reverse |
[03:28.00] |
Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone |
[03:32.57] |
And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun |
[03:35.95] |
By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up |
[03:39.08] |
Well I second that and I reckon that you tried |
[03:41.38] |
So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth |
[03:44.16] |
And the first flight out of town, into the mist |
[03:46.74] |
Till death do us apart and it did |
[03:49.10] |
Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun |
[03:52.13] |
Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead |
[03:56.08] |
On our lives we nourished |
[03:57.46] |
And the days we cherished as kids |
[03:59.71] |
We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind |
[04:02.70] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[04:05.47] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[04:24.33] |
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind |
[04:26.75] |
Your smile is the only thing that shines |
[04:29.08] |
Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries |
[04:32.00] |
Or a random hand picks it instantly |
[04:34.57] |
Life is art, a miracle for all to believe |
[04:37.37] |
I must tell you that you lived beautifully |
