When I'm Gone

I am cursed

I am graced to hear those fading sounds

Always sitting on the bank instead of wading in to drown

Always singing the songs like the world turned upside down

Well the world is upside down

The world is upside down and I am out there with the ones

Who think you give and you never get it back

And when I’m gone

I will be gone

I am gone

The universe is cold but it feels hot to the touch

Are the hopeful good hearted? Do they ask for too much?

Is it ashes to ash or is ash the same as dust?

Well this world is ash and dust

It’s just dust and ash and dust and I am out here with the ones

Who love but could never learn to trust

And when I’m gone

I will be gone

I am gone

There’s want in the world in the sip and the sup

The love and the fear overfloweth the cup

If everything is nothing then can’t nothing be enough?

Well this nothing is enough

And this everything’s enough

And I am out there with the ones

Who have seen the face of god and called the bluff

And when I’m gone

I will be gone

I am gone

And when I’m gone

I will be gone

I am gone
