lyrics

So let the twilight trickle in
Let the grass grow tall and thin
I’ll fill my glass not with bitter poison, for it shrouds doubt upon the toast, and lift my glass
Lift up my glass to years filled with a peace I’ve never known

And I’m afraid to live another life
To endure again the untethered misery of an infancy often spent in sickness
Coughing into the wall under the stars above my cloudy ceiling
Staggering with arms outstretched and grasping for the breath, inches behind it as it floats just out of reach
Crying out for mercy in desperation, finally whisked away beneath the grand lungs whose alveoli radiate to the sky
Steadied by my mother, for a time
Held close and warm while liquid winter air floods in and soothes my tattered airways
My first memory of this earth

So let the twilight trickle in
Let the grass grow tall and thin
I’ll fill my glass not with bitter poison, for it shrouds doubt upon the toast, and lift my glass
Lift up my glass to years filled with a peace that I have never known

Looking out over yards
In which kids jump on trampolines
Some here atop the hill
Others there between the trees
In midair, they look the same
Their world burns out
Their world burns out of me slowly
Still smoldering softly
I hear that nothing changes, it simply dissipates
I pray that‘s not the case
I hope that room remains
If not for the return of that seething novelty of youth, for something not yet seen
I hope room remains
