What Really Matters

What would you take if your world was on fire Riding the wind on a tinder of leaves Flames flying in like an enemy fighter Sun rising red, tell me what would you grieve When you're burned down to the bedrock When you're scraped down to the coals When everything you thought you knew is changing And you feel the devil fighting for your soul Flask of whisky Stash of pot Letters from a lover that you should have long forgot When your tidal waves Of tears turn to laughter That's when you know it comes down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down To what really matters What really matters Smoke screens and daydreams don't help when you're running Plumes lift to heaven the rest of your home Falling like snow you're an angel in ashes Chimneys and tree bones and churchyard stones When it comes down to the bedrock When everything that you've known Is shattered glass in the doorways And you're wrestling with an angel for control Flask of whisky Stash of pot Letters from a lover that you should have long forgot When your tidal waves Of tears turn to laughter That's when you know it comes down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down To what really matters What really matters Flask of whisky Stash of pot Letters from a lover that you should have long forgot When your tidal waves Of tears turn to laughter That's when you know it comes down Flask of whisky Stash of pot Letters from a lover that you should have long forgot When your tidal waves Of tears turn to laughter That's when you know it comes down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down To what really matters What really matters What really matters What really matters
