lyrics

You don't pick your partner like you don't pick your parents.
We're sliding through our lives like carts on a track, that's the terrible secret.
Everything outside, eternity is looking down at us.
You can't remember your past lives, so you can't change it up.

Everything we've done and everything we'll do, we're gonna do again.
Over and over, like a lot of dreams, there's a monster at the end.

Digging for any clues in the ruins of a burned out church.
Racing to a red light, two empty jars, fulfillment and closure.
Making up fairy tales just to get through, what does that say about you?
You'd rather drop a coin in a wishing well than buy yourself dinner.

We all live in a trap of belief and gene-deep certainty.
Such a tragic sense of entitlement. "Surely this is all for me."

I've got a bad taste in my mouth, aluminum and ash.
The Louisiana sky looks like it's burning from my neural damage.
Infidelity is one sin, but my true failure was inattention.
But I know who I am after all these years, there's a victory in that.

When I was under, I had a vague awareness, I could feel my definitions fading.
Beneath that darkness, there was a deeper warm, like a substance.
I could feel and I know my daughter waited for me there.
I was a part of everything I ever loved and we were all just fading out.

All I had to do was let go. And I did.
And I disappeared.
I felt nothing but that love.
Then I woke up.
