lyrics

Grieve Well and Grieve Long

Sit and I stare at the blank page
Stale air
Escaping from my lungs
Try as I might
My mind ever so slightly enfogged

Cat’s got our tongue
And the old ache that love
Leaves when sure and swift
Night comes
And that place by our bed
Where she’d stalk...
the impressions left

So if you go on before
Wait for me.
If you go on before
Wait for me.
I’ll be soon at the gates
And I’ll crave company
upon that journey long

Your numbers still saved Like a hole in our day
Like a ghost, a Missing frame
Ten years of grief. Wound still too raw to speak of aloud
Perch on my pillow
Claw at my passing
Bloom all my flowers
Ever be Laughing
I pray that you’re watching,
I hope you’ll be haunting
awhile.

Chorus

This is where it starts
this breath the cosmic spark
deep well from which we’re all drawn
grieve well and grieve long.
You can feel time dilate
and shift tectonic plates
the universe expands on
Grieve well and grieve long.

And if through some sacred physics
That moment still exists
Encased within amber
Unending, unhampered
Still breathing, still being
Well, I would exist Everthere
