lyrics

ONE BATTLE

When the sail is regressing we fall into
A sort of distraction that’s at war with the rain drops
I can’t catch them all, but I must see them fall
Can’t remove this wall, though I’m hearing them say

That the moon is infected and the ship is unraveled
And the tree’s growing backwards, despite how we’ve traveled
And the pain song rolls along, rolls along,
Rolls inside a cycle of blood
And the leaves all sing along, sing along,
Sing as they are blown into dust
This time…

The only way to be an honest man is to lie
The only way to make an offering is to steal
The only way to lead a healthy life is to die
The only way to ever ease the pain is to feel

There’s only one apple to be eaten
There’s only one battle to be won
There’s only one sunlight to have risen
There's only one child to be born

Just watch her bleed, and all the books you have read
Will not make it stop, will not save what’s been lost
This time…
