Lewis, Be Brave

(album: Hiss - 2022)

And there ain't no words I know of
Can prepare you for this kinda pain
It's like a month of overcast Mondays
And you're caught in the thunder and the rain
Pretty soon the cost of everyone you've lost
Will be equal to the people you've gained
And we're all, wasting time down a one big line
Between the welcome sign and the grave

You wake up just right to see the morning light
But it hits you like the crashing of the waves
You call God but his telephones off
Saying why am I lost
Why do you take as many people as you save

You feel weak
So you try to eat a meal
Try your best feel
Something other than your mother slipping away
And we're all, wasting time down a one big line
Between the welcome sign and the grave

So you, drive out to your friends house
Try to pour your heart out
Hoping one of them can ease the pain
And you, cry tears and you laugh and you drink some beers
And then after it all you gotta face up to that grief again
Then you, lay your head down
Try to pretend now
She never died and nothing's changed

We're all, wasting time down a one big line
Between the welcome sign and the grave
And we're all, wasting time down a one big line
Between the welcome sign and the grave
And we're all, wasting time down a one big line
Between the welcome sign and the grave
Lewis be brave
