i felt like my body was trying to catch up with me while i was writing it. the words just flew out of me one summer afternoon while i was out for a walk. i have no shame in saying i called my dad to pick me up so that i could get back to an instrument fast enough to not forget what was coming to me haha
lyrics
shouldn’t history remind us how to treat ourselves tonight,
against the end of time?
shouldn’t misery make way for modern freedoms to inspire our climb,
dont tell me you cant even see outside,
i'm aliver than ever,
if there’s nothing left to care for then there's nothing left to say,
the things you do dissolve me i am freer than a kite,
i could write this song forever knowing history refines,
but i can't do this every night, am i running myself dry,
at least i'm still willing to try,
should our mortal prayers press on beyond our hunger for tomorrow?
i thought that we were closer,
would another share, the meal it takes to feed us as a whole,
If so, don't tell me you’ve got someplace else to go,
time to hold it together,
if there's nothing left to care for then there's nothing left to say,
the things you do dissolve me i am freer by the day,
i will play this song forever let it be another triumph,
our history unites us against the end of time,
but i can't do this every night, i can't do it everyday,
am i running myself dry, am i running cause i'm afraid?
if there’s no more left to guide us then there’s not much left to say,
at least i'm still willing to try
