Our comfortable life in slow motion
In pieces shattered in the air
In stunning impact, silence exploding
Lies my heart torn apart by how much I care
And brace yourself, now we’re spinning
I tried to catch you, but you’re heavy in the fall
Past being brave in this battle we’re to be winning
Are your eyes with sweet goodbyes, the tragic beauty of it all
When we’ve lost enough, dug enough graves, we become tender in our pain
When all the fight is gone, stripped to surrender, only kindness, only kindness remains
And the world goes on, always in a hurry
After what, tell me why, going where
And our lives get lost in measuring and worry
When every breath, every breath we take, lord it’s a prayer
When we’ve lost enough, dug enough graves, we become tender in our pain
When all the fight is gone, stripped to surrender, only kindness, only kindness remains
All that we do and all that we’ve done, and all that we have, and all that we’ve won
when our time comes to pass through, all that will be taken too,
only love is light enough to carry with you
