Lyrics

Kyle never thought about death, says I can't afford to waste the breath
Got gigs to play, bills to pay , kids to dress, any anyway what's the point
Feeling damned in his mind, like someone up there clutching dice
Taking names, crafting lies, making half of life a genuine hell
Nothing interrupted the monolog
Like if everything he'd written in all those songs
was bullshit, self-serving point of a wayward plot
on a path to nothing at all
pressure built but never burst,
Rebuttals coming well-rehearsed
For a worn-down wife, the friends at church
 And the days keep dragging on
Kyle topped off the Subaru,
took it out past Oceanview
A headland, just granite and some pine
Sat above the white cap's song
Held the fungus in his palm
Jill from work said it's a gift from the other side
1 gram to see the dusk in new light
Twice that to feel it enter inside him
The energy becomes undivided
His skin just a window pane
Twice that still for it all to melt away
The bending pine and restless shade
Become beautiful, absurd clichés
Of themselves
The moss looks so crazy it breaks his heart
How quickly things just fall apart
I gotta call my brother, he just wrecked his car
What am hell am I doing here
The evening turned from coals to ash
Shed its skin into the past
Lit home by the moon above
He pulled into the driveway light
Taking stock of a shaken mind
Nothing there but a residue of love
