If And When I Die
(专辑: Between Bodies - 2014)
[Chris Z:] No one is invincible, no one is immortal; these are the
rules Fireworks have scared me shitless for three years now Easier to blame it on neuroses than admit that everything loud and sudden scares me But I
found out that I
still love the
sight of them When the
light of the
setting September sun came through the
leaves In scattered shards I
was driving down the
highway with my secrets No one is invincible, no one is immortal This time of year always reminds me of Mitch At noon, in the
shade, there's still dew on the
grass The
leaves are trying on the
coats they'll wear to their funerals And without knowing it, as if it is coded into me I
start to listen to "People Without End' The
ways in which one leaves a
place And the
way a
ghost becomes a
part of you And some days, this reminds me more of Kyle than anything else And the
times we spent wishing for the
past I
think I'm through with that now I've got holes in me big enough That sometimes I
can barely stay afloat But I'm starting to find that nothingness Has the
potential to be filled with anything that our minds can imagine Everyone here's story has been everyone here's story since the
Big Bang And I'm not talking about your parents fucking Or their parents' parents' parents' fucking I'm talking about that fact that the
things inside of you The
ones that matter, cannot be created or destroyed anymore Not since this universe started and not until it fucking ends That's how long we're going to live So when my body chooses to become something more Burn it, let the
liquid in me dry up Let it crack like the
leaves coming through the
driveway of the
house I
grew up in Divide me among the
people I've loved and ask them this: On the
day they find a
place where stars are safe from everything but the
brightness of the
moon Scatter my ashes there so that from which I
came can witness that which I've become No one is invincible, everyone is immortal No one is invincible, everyone is immortal [Dave:] If false and naive ideals will keep us working Sustained by people like you, like a
televised old story Maybe that is what one is meant to have Sucking from the
maimed and the
crazed
