All the Pure Souls Out There / Original Song / April 2019
LYRICS
The sun has charred the sides of these cliffs
They’re blackened
They’re blackened with soot
And this gorge is barely letting us pass
I see Joshua on foot.
You can sing, “Woe is me, woe is me.
I will never see
All of those things
I’ll never see, never see everything.”
You can sing, you can sing,
“Woe is me, woe is me.
I will never meet
All those pure souls out there,
those pure souls out there.”
This rock, it was a river
Admiring the temple in the distance.
The temple is its cousin
One thousand times removed.
And I am barely forming syllables.
This leaf is covered in the sickness of its tree.
And my cells are simply bonded differently.
We are carefully but quickly
Stitching, stitching, stitching, stitching
Till we become too busy,
And we do away with No’s.
Step outside. Wake up at sunrise.
We’ll eat when we’re hungry,
And we’ll do away with time.
Oh why, oh why.
I got some maybes I’ve been keepin,
Good Lord, could you retrieve them?
No. No. No.
I got some maybes I’ve been keepin,
Good Lord, could you retrieve them?
No. No. No.
You can sing, “Woe is me, woe is me.
I will never see
All of those things
I’ll never see, never see everything.”
You can sing, you can sing,
“Woe is me, woe is me.
I will never meet
All those pure souls out there,
those pure souls out there.”
