This Too Shall Pass

You've got a heart that's heavy like a suitcase at the airport that you wish you could leave behind And every thought in your head is a piece of stale bread on the kitchen counter of your life You catch yourself in the mirror trying to stand up straight You exhale, your shoulders, they fold And every song that you sing faintly rings of a story you've already told But this too shall pass Albeit like a kidney stone This too shall pass Like a freight train riding through the snow This too shall pass, so slow, it don't seem steady Sadness, it don't leave you till its ready I had a dream last night that I lost all my teeth and I was falling down a bottomless well I awoke in fright in the middle of the night What it meant, yeah, I couldn't tell So I went to the kitchen to make some coffee The whole house, it started to shake A hole cracked in the floor and I fell once more, and realized I wasn't awake But this too shall pass Thought it may feel like a double dream This too shall pass Don't you pay no mind to what it means This too shall pass, so slow, so steady Sadness, it don't leave you, sadness, it don't leave you Sadness, it don't leave you till it's ready
