every, everyone is dressed up
waiting patiently in line
to tell you they're so sorry
“she was the life of every party”
they cling on you too tight
all their words are trite
try to make you feel alright
my father told a story
about you, from way before you knew me
and a song that we all know
but no one sings along
sounds bounce hard from wall to wall
someone asked “how are you holding up kid?”
someone said “it is probably for the best”
"well, the best for who?", I ask
we fought, we lost, that is it
no good can come from this
home, sleeps in the heart
I never wanted anything more at all
and now, wherever I go
just shows me where I’m, where I’m from
it is not in the cards, it is not in the stars
you just have to try and take what’s yours
There’s nothing that’s not connected to anything
