Pallbearers

There's a feeling

when alone

And never mind my second thoughts

it's concealing.

I thought I'd know

Look at all the life I've lost

I watched this cup flow all over me.

Not the first time

I believed what they said about me

There's a hand on my shoulder, there's a voice with it that says

Son you worked all night

There's a light on the horizon, bags under my eyes

Tranquil in the morning light.

And they said we will carry you home

When we were infants

With no control

We thought we saw it all in front of us

But now in hindsight

We should've known

The falling sand has encumbered us

With weathered skin, old bones, and defeat

With disappointment

Constantly governing me.

There's a hand on my shoulder, there's a voice with it that says

Son you worked all night

There's a light on the horizon, bags under my eyes

Tranquil in the morning light.

And they said we will carry you home

And they said we will carry you home

There's a horizon

That never leaves

As I approach it, it runs from me

And I have projects

Still incomplete

Look at all the time I've seen.

I've watched this cup flow all over me

And at the right times

It was sadly interesting.

There's a hand on my shoulder, there's a voice with it that says

Son you worked all night

There's a light on the horizon, bags under my eyes

Tranquil in the morning light.

And they said we will carry you home

And they said we will carry you home

And they said we will carry you home

And they said we will carry you home

And they said we will carry you home
